What grows here
Aurano
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
High in Piedmont's Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, within the rugged Valgrande mountain union, lies Aurano, a small municipality of 113 inhabitants. Despite its modest size, this alpine setting is integral to 14 protected denominations. Among them, the celebrated Genepì del Piemonte IG spirit finds its mountain essence here, distilled from alpine artemisia. Similarly, the specific pasture and microclimate contribute to the character of Toma Piemontese DOP, a revered cheese rooted in the region's enduring dairy traditions.
