What grows here
Castelletto Uzzone
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Castelletto Uzzone, a tiny Piedmontese outpost in Cuneo province home to just 274 residents, occupies a rugged landscape where sheep-rearing and high-altitude viticulture thrive. This specific microclimate shapes Murazzano DOP, an exquisite sheep’s milk cheese produced across a restricted zone of 50 municipalities. The steep slopes also nurture the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes destined for Alta Langa DOCG, a sparkling wine restricted to 148 select hill towns. In total, 20 protected designations overlap in this single mountain enclave, proving that scarce human footprint fosters exceptional gastronomic biodiversity.
