But let’s return to the territory, whose glacial origin has made the lands of Canavese rich in minerals, making them ideal for vine cultivation. The lakes, the hills of the morainic amphitheater, and the constant ventilation from the Valle d’Aosta create a microclimate particularly favorable to viticulture. The landscape has been shaped by vine cultivation, with the suggestive stone pillars called Pilun. Among the renowned local wines, you will find Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, Carema DOC, and Canavese Rosso DOC.
