Arguello

Home to a mere 186 residents, the tiny Cuneo village of Arguello punches far above its weight with 22 protected denominations overlapping its territory. This steep Piedmontese landscape shapes the character of Dolcetto d'Alba DOC, a robust red wine cultivated across a select zone of just 36 municipalities. Alongside these vineyards, the surrounding rugged pastures feed the sheep that yield milk for Murazzano DOP, a delicate cheese crafted in 50 local communes. Arguello’s dramatic elevations and maritime-influenced alpine breezes create an ideal microclimate, concentrated within a compact territory where viticulture and high-altitude cheesemaking naturally converge.
