What grows here
Torre San Giorgio
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the flat alluvial plains of Cuneo, the tiny agricultural commune of Torre San Giorgio, home to fewer than seven hundred residents, provides the perfect damp soil conditions to cultivate the prized Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a local bean restricted to a territory of 247 municipalities. This small enclave also shapes the regional dairy heritage, contributing to the strict production zones of both Bra DOP and Raschera DOP cheeses. In total, 17 distinct protected food and wine denominations overlap within this single compact boundary, where alpine runoff feeds the lowland pastures.
