Az. Agricola Bona Giovanni e Figli ssa

In San Giacomo Vercellese, within the protected area of Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP, Az. Agricola Bona Giovanni e Figli cultivates the only Italian rice to boast a protected designation of origin. The reference territory includes twenty-eight municipalities in northeastern Piedmont, where particular pedoclimatic conditions impart to the grain an unusual cooking resistance and a contained starch release. This technical advantage—low stickiness and compact granular structure—is not a commercial accessory but the very heart of the product's identity, and it stems from cultivation knowledge specific to the Baraggia plateau. The company works within this framework, translating difficult soil and a severe climate into a measurable quality on the plate. The denomination, here, certifies an adherence to the place that goes beyond administrative geography: it is the Baraggia, with its water and its lands, that defines the character of a rice that would not be born the same elsewhere, and establishes its positioning.
