Marrone della Valle di Susa

The Marrone della Valle di Susa IGP, recognized by the European Union since 2006, represents a unique case within Piedmont's agricultural landscape. While its official production zone encompasses 28 distinct municipalities in the Susa Valley, including Almese, Avigliana, and Borgone Susa, the denomination currently features 0 verified producers in the official registry. This absence of active, certified growers distinguishes this northern Italian chestnut origin from neighboring sweet chestnut appellations that maintain active commercial registers. Despite this administrative vacancy, the geographic boundary remains legally protected, defining the precise alpine territory where these specific chestnuts can historically be cultivated.
