What grows here
Lequio Tanaro
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Lequio Tanaro thrives within the protected riverine landscape of the Upper Pesio and Tanaro Valleys regional park, where unique microclimates shape a diverse agricultural yield. This small Piedmontese commune claims a share in 18 protected denominations. Its alluvial soils are particularly suited for cultivating the tender Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a local bean restricted to a 247-municipality zone. The surrounding pastures also yield milk destined for Bra DOP and Raschera DOP cheeses. From riverbank cultivation to hillside grazing, this humid valley ecosystem fosters some of Cuneo's most distinct, strictly regulated delicacies.
