What grows here
Maggiora
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the northern reaches of Piedmont's Novara province, where the Alpine foothills begin to rise, Maggiora's specialized terroir provides a distinct environment for viticulture. This climate shapes the prestigious Boca DOC, a highly localized red wine shared with only four other municipalities, as well as the fragrant Colline Novaresi DOC. Maggiora’s acidic, porphyry-rich soils nourish these vines, currently cultivated by 2 registered local producers who both welcome travelers for tastings and cellar visits. Here, the unique alpine-influenced winds craft remarkably mineral-driven and age-worthy Piedmontese wines.
