What grows here
Piasco
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Where the Varaita Valley begins its gentle descent toward the Piedmontese plains, the sun-drenched slopes of Piasco cultivate a unique microclimate. This transitional Alpine topography nurtures 20 protected denominations, headlined by the highly localized Colline Saluzzesi DOC. This rare wine, grown across a restricted zone of just 13 municipalities, thrives alongside the crisp Mela Rossa Cuneo IGP, which benefits from the valley's cool evening drafts and warm daytime exposure. These diurnal shifts concentrate sugars in the fruit and structure in the grapes, making Piasco a crucial, compact laboratory of authentic alpine-border agriculture.
