What grows here

Gorzegno

21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

In the tiny, windswept Cuneo hillsides where only 238 residents live, Gorzegno’s rugged pastures shape some of Piedmont’s most exclusive flavors. This micro-climate nurtures the rare sheep-and-cow milk blend behind Murazzano DOP, a cheese restricted to a tight zone of 50 municipalities. Alongside these grassy slopes, the steep terrain yields the prestigious grapes of Langhe DOC and the effervescent Alta Langa DOCG. Though small, Gorzegno boasts a remarkable overlap of 21 protected denominations, where steep viticulture and traditional pastoralism define a highly specialized, isolated terroir.
