What grows here
Cannero Riviera
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on the Piedmontese shore of Lake Maggiore, the municipality of Cannero Riviera (890 inhabitants) cultivates a specific terroir shaped by its lakeside elevation and the surrounding Verbano-Cusio-Ossola landscape. This unique environment fosters the distinct qualities behind 13 protected food and wine denominations that claim this territory. Notably, it contributes to the character of Toma Piemontese DOP, a cheese whose regulated zone encompasses 886 municipalities, demonstrating its deeply regional roots. Here too, spirits like Grappa Piemontese IG and cured meats such as Salame Piemonte IGP are born, their essence tied to the unique climatic and historical circumstances found exclusively in this northern Italian locale.
