What grows here
Nus
9 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Nus, a compact Aosta Valley municipality home to nearly 3,000 residents, is a vibrant point on ItalyTasteMap. Its distinct alpine setting, marked by the region's mountainous terrain, provides ideal conditions for 9 protected denominations. Notably, the unique microclimates nurture grapes for Valle d'Aosta DOC wines, a designation spanning just 38 municipalities. This same rugged landscape sustains the herds whose milk yields Fontina DOP cheese. Two verified producers based in Nus actively contribute to these celebrated flavors, fostering products like the artisanal Valle d'Aosta Jambon de Bosses DOP, intrinsically linked to this specific environment.
