What grows here
Cecima
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on a high hillock rising on the left bank of the Staffora torrent, the tiny enclave of Cecima harnesses a unique microclimate to shape 21 protected denominations. Chief among these micro-regional specialties is Salame di Varzi DOP, a prized cured meat shared among a strict zone of just 14 municipalities. The same clay-limestone slopes nurture vines for Pinot nero dell'Oltrepò Pavese DOC. This small alpine-influenced community hosts exactly 1 verified producer, which opens its doors to travelers eager to taste how the valley's distinct wind patterns and elevation naturally refine these historic flavors.
