What grows here
Pollein
9 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the south-central Aosta Valley, Pollein's unique alpine microclimates are foundational to its distinct gastronomic offerings. These conditions cultivate the character of 9 protected denominations, led by local specialties. The Valle d'Aosta DOC, a wine region spanning just 38 municipalities, thrives here, its grapes refined by mountain air. This specific environment also fosters the rich Fontina DOP, a cheese intrinsically linked to valley pastures, and the aromatic Genepì della Valle d'Aosta IG. Pollein is home to 10 verified producers championing these local treasures, with one offering direct visits to explore this authentic Aostan taste map.
