What grows here
Premosello-Chiovenda
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
The steep, densely forested wilderness of the Val Grande National Park shields Premosello-Chiovenda, creating a rugged alpine environment that directly shapes its agricultural output. Within this mountain-ringed enclave, isolated geography fosters unique farming methods, yielding 17 protected denominations. Chief among these is the ultra-local Valli Ossolane DOC, a distinctive alpine wine produced within a restricted zone of just 17 municipalities, and Ossolano DOP, a rich mountain cheese crafted across 37 neighboring communities. The sharp temperature swings and high-altitude pastures here concentrate the herbaceous aromas in the milk and grape skins, defining these highly localized mountain delicacies.
