Villanova Mondovì

In Villanova Mondovì, the waters of the Ellero river carve a fertile landscape where 18 protected denominations thrive. The river’s alluvial deposits nourish the local soils, making them ideal for cultivating the distinctive, thin-skinned Fagiolo Cuneo IGP. This specific fluvial environment also supports the valley pastures that feed the dairy herds behind Raschera DOP and Bra DOP cheeses. By blending alpine drafts with mineral-rich valley silt, this particular Piedmontese terroir shapes agricultural treasures, defining the deep gastronomy of this Cuneo province enclave.
