What grows here
Villar San Costanzo
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the quiet Cuneo province of Piedmont, the small community of Villar San Costanzo—home to just 1,545 residents—nurtures a surprisingly diverse culinary output. This compact territory benefits from a climate and topography that sustain 21 protected denominations. Chief among these local treasures is the Colline Saluzzesi DOC, a characterful wine cultivated across a tight zone of just 13 municipalities. Alongside these vineyards, the alpine air feeds the orchards of the Mela Rossa Cuneo IGP, a crisp red apple grown within 45 local areas. Here, limited geographic scale yields highly concentrated gastronomic excellence.
