What grows here
Masera
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Masera, a quiet alpine enclave of fewer than fifteen hundred residents in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, harnesses its dramatic northern Piedmont terrain to shape intense, mountain-influenced flavors. This rugged landscape is the cradle for the distinct Valli Ossolane DOC, a local wine denomination shared among just 17 municipalities, where steep vineyards yield character-rich nebbiolo. Additionally, the high pastures yield the savory Ossolano DOP cheese. Highlighting this viticultural frontier is Masera’s 1 verified producer, who welcomes travelers to taste these extreme altitude vintages directly at the source, offering an intimate glimpse into this alpine terroir.
