What grows here
Castellino Tanaro
22 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Castellino Tanaro, a quiet Piedmontese village of just 279 residents perched above the Tanaro river valley, channels its rugged terrain into 22 protected denominations. The steep, calcareous hillsides provide an ideal microclimate for the prestigious Dogliani DOCG, a robust Dolcetto wine cultivated across a restricted zone of only 21 municipalities. Here, the maritime winds clashing with alpine air also shape the delicate Murazzano DOP sheep’s milk cheese, deeply tied to these high pastures. This tiny commune proves that dramatic topography and small-scale farming yield some of Italy's most concentrated flavors.
