What grows here
Gottasecca
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Though home to only 114 residents, the tiny Cuneo municipality of Gottasecca punches far above its weight, boasting 20 protected food and wine denominations. This windswept, high-altitude Piedmontese terrain shapes the creamy Murazzano DOP cheese, produced in a select zone of 50 municipalities. Alongside these pastures, the steep, calcareous hillsides yield the Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes required for Alta Langa DOCG, a sparkling wine that thrives in this cool microclimate. Here, extreme alpine-maritime winds concentrate the grapes' acidity, defining Gottasecca’s distinct, rugged terroir.
