What grows here
Issogne
9 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Issogne, a charming municipality nestled in the southeastern Aosta Valley, is a cradle for distinct regional flavors. The unique mountain terroir of this specific sub-alpine region fosters products like the acclaimed Valle d'Aosta DOC wines, produced within a zone spanning just 38 municipalities. This environment also shapes the renowned Fontina DOP cheese. Issogne's climate, marked by its particular altitudes and microclimates inherent to its southeastern Aosta Valley position, contributes profoundly to these characteristics. The village, home to 1,278 residents, actively participates in preserving these traditions. Here, two verified local producers craft offerings that contribute to a total of 9 protected denominations, including the fragrant Genepì della Valle d'Aosta IG.
