What grows here
Alto Sermenza
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Born from the 2018 merger of Rima San Giuseppe and Rimasco, Alto Sermenza in high Valsesia is a distinct locale where specific Italian flavors are deeply rooted. Its Alpine isolation and unique flora foster the distinct botanicals essential for Genepì del Piemonte IG, a spirit whose production zone spans 284 municipalities. This secluded mountain setting is also crucial for the unique character of Toma Piemontese DOP, a renowned cheese, emblematic of a broader area of 886 municipalities. Alto Sermenza contributes to the integrity of 13 protected denominations in total, each a direct expression of this unique Piemontese geography, far removed from mass production.
