Barone Angelo e Fatti Daniela

In northeastern Piemonte, where twenty-eight municipalities form the Baraggia district, Barone Angelo and Fatti Daniela cultivate Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP. Their choice falls on Carnaroli, a variety that finds particular conditions here: the microclimate and soils of the area give it low stickiness and a superior consistency, traits that the denomination claims as its own. It is especially during cooking that the character of this rice reveals itself. The grain resists overcooking and maintains predictable behavior, a reliability that matters as much in home cooking as in the fast pace of professional kitchens. Behind this consistency lies the specificity of a territory that offers no shortcuts, where the link between grain and soil is measurable plate after plate. In Ghislarengo, the company opens its doors to those who wish to understand both dimensions—the technique of the grain and the philosophy that governs it—through tastings and field visits. Those passing through these rice paddies can book a tour and taste the Carnaroli in the place where it ripens, understanding the difference firsthand.
