What grows here
Alto
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
The tiny Piedmontese outpost of Alto, home to just 151 residents in the rugged mountains of Cuneo, yields a surprising agricultural bounty shaped by its high-altitude terrain. Here, 18 protected denominations overlap, starting with prized local specialties. The cool alpine microclimate is perfect for cultivating the tender Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a bean protected across a zone of 247 municipalities. Additionally, the steep slopes provide pasture for the dairy herds behind Raschera DOP and Bra DOP cheeses, making this isolated alpine enclave a quiet sanctuary for genuine mountain gastronomy.
