What grows here
Lagnasco
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Lagnasco, a small Piedmontese settlement of under 1,400 residents in the flatlands of Cuneo, leverages its alpine-adjacent microclimate to cultivate highly prized fruit. This specific clay-loam terroir is the heartland for the crisp Mela Rossa Cuneo IGP, a red apple designation restricted to just 45 municipalities. The area's sunny days and sharp thermal night drops foster intense coloration and sweetness. Across Lagnasco's soil, this climate shapes 18 overlapping protected designations, including the local Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, cementing the tiny enclave's outsized role in Piedmont's gastronomic landscape.
