Cartosio
19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
With just 707 residents in the Piedmontese province of Alessandria, the small municipality of Cartosio boasts an incredibly concentrated agricultural identity. This specific soil is one of only nineteen permitted communes where the delicate Robiola di Roccaverano DOP cheese is produced. Furthermore, the local hills nurture vines for the rare Dolcetto d'Acqui DOC wine, limited to twenty-three neighboring municipalities. Visitors can experience these flavors firsthand through the single verified producer based in Cartosio, who remains open for visits to explore how this area shapes its 19 protected denominations.
