Racconigi
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Historically famous as the birthplace of Italy's final monarch, Umberto II, within the walls of its royal Savoy castle, Racconigi nourishes a gastronomic heritage as distinguished as its noble past. The municipality hosts 17 protected denominations, thriving in the fertile Cuneo plains. Chief among these local specialties is the Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a highly prized bean cultivated in a restricted zone of 247 municipalities. This legume, alongside robust cheeses like Bra DOP, thrives in the flat, alluvial soil irrigated by Alpine runoffs. Racconigi's terroir transforms royal history into a hub of certified Piedmontese taste.
