What grows here
Veglio
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Within the Biella province of Piedmont, the small municipality of Veglio, with its modest population, proves remarkably fertile for Italy's protected food and wine heritage. This alpine-influenced locale contributes directly to the character of 13 denominations. Here, the unique flora of the surrounding mountains provides the very essence for Genepì del Piemonte IG, a spirit deeply rooted in the region's high-altitude environment. Concurrently, the rich pastures sustain the herds critical for crafting Toma Piemontese DOP, a celebrated cheese whose flavour profile is inextricably linked to the Biellese territory. Veglio's specific conditions ensure that these local treasures, among others, genuinely originate and thrive here.
