Azienda Agricola "Di Rovasenda Biandrate Maria"

In Rovasenda, in the Vercelli area, the Di Rovasenda Biandrate Maria farm cultivates rice according to organic farming principles, eschewing herbicides and mineral fertilizers. Their work is supported by a research network—the Ente Nazionale Risi and the universities of Turin and Milan—with which the farm develops cultivation techniques capable of thriving without chemical support. This is how Riso Resiliente was born, a blend of medium-grain rices selected precisely for its resilience to ecological constraints. The farm's sole denomination is Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP, recognized across twenty-eight municipalities and prized for its firm cooking texture and low stickiness, making it ideal for risottos. Visitors to the farm can observe firsthand how attention to cultivation cycles and even the biology of beneficial insects translates into the final grain: a field tasting that connects the Baraggia landscape to the rice served at the table.
