Vottignasco

Vottignasco, a small Piedmontese enclave of just 513 inhabitants in the flatlands of Cuneo, utilizes its damp, river-fed soils to cultivate the distinct Fagiolo Cuneo IGP. This tiny agricultural community yields an extraordinary concentration of agricultural heritage, hosting 17 protected denominations within its borders. The moist local microclimate along the Maira River basin provides the precise conditions required for these prized regional beans. This unique terroir also qualifies Vottignasco for the production of celebrated local cheeses like Bra DOP and Raschera DOP, making this quiet village a crucial contributor to Piedmont's gastronomic map.
