What grows here
Candelo
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the Piedmontese province of Biella, the historic town of Candelo, home to some 7,175 residents, nurtures a distinct agricultural identity shaped by its proximity to the Alps. Within this territory, 15 protected denominations overlap, led by the highly localized Coste della Sesia DOC. This elegant wine is produced across a restricted zone of just 16 municipalities, where acidic soils yield vibrant Nebbiolo and Croatina grapes. Complementing these steep hillside vineyards is Toma Piemontese DOP, a historic mountain cheese that reflects the high-altitude pastures framing this corner of northern Italy.
