Cantalupo Ligure
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on the right bank of the Borbera torrent in the upper Borbera Valley, Cantalupo Ligure, in Piedmont's Alessandria province, provides a unique terroir for viticulture. This specific microclimate is crucial for grapes destined for the Colli Tortonesi DOC, a wine zone spanning 46 municipalities. The municipality also plays a role in the creation of the aromatic Genepì del Piemonte IG spirit, part of a wider 284-municipality production area. In total, 14 protected denominations reflect the distinctive agricultural bounty fostered by its particular geography.
