Bonvicino

Bonvicino, a tiny Piedmontese hamlet of just 99 residents in Cuneo, uses its steep pasturelands and hills to yield highly specific local products. This micro-commune sits within the narrow zone of 50 municipalities for Murazzano DOP, a raw sheep’s milk cheese deeply tied to these high-altitude grasses. The same rugged terrain shapes the vineyards of the Langhe DOC, where nebbiolo and dolcetto grapes grip the limestone slopes. By pairing its minimal population with strict geographic boundaries, Bonvicino preserves highly localized agricultural methods that define the very limits of Piedmontese gastronomy.
