Intragna

Intragna, a tiny municipality of just 85 inhabitants within Piemonte's Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, offers an intriguing glimpse into Italy's protected origins. This secluded setting, where traditional ways endure, underpins the uniqueness of its culinary landscape. A remarkable 14 protected denominations overlap here, a testament to the area's distinct terroir. Crucially, it is a birthplace for Genepì del Piemonte IG, an alpine spirit whose production zone includes 284 municipalities, deeply rooted in the rugged terrain. The local environment also contributes to the character of Toma Piemontese DOP, a celebrated cheese from a zone covering 886 municipalities, proving that even the most intimate corners of Piedmont hold significant gastronomic value.
