What grows here
Agrate Conturbia
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated in the Novara province of Piedmont, this enclave of fewer than 1,600 residents provides an ideal microclimate for exceptional viticulture and cheesemaking. Agrate Conturbia claims 16 protected denominations, led by the highly localized Colline Novaresi DOC, a wine designation restricted to just 25 neighboring municipalities. The native soils also nurture the complex flavors of Toma Piemontese DOP, a regional cheese crafted across 886 communes. This small territory proves how specific Piedmontese geological conditions concentrate rich flavors, defining an authentic viticultural boundary that thrives far beyond its modest municipal borders.
