Cortemilia

In the steep valleys of Cuneo, the small commune of Cortemilia, with its 2,105 residents, channels its rugged terrain into exceptional gastronomy. This specific terroir shapes 23 protected denominations, anchored by 5 verified producers based directly within the municipal boundaries. Here, the steep hillsides yield the intense Dolcetto d'Alba DOC, a wine cultivated across a tight zone of just 36 municipalities. Alongside these vineyards, the native pastures feed the sheep and cows that yield Murazzano DOP, a delicate robiola cheese. The microclimate of these Piedmontese slopes ensures that every vintage and cheese rind carries the authentic, sharp character of Cortemilia.
