Valsusa

Wine · PDO · 19 municipalities

Established in 2004 across 19 Piedmontese municipalities including Almese and Caprie, the Valsusa DOC is sustained by just five verified producers. This alpine denomination distinguishes itself from generic regional profiles by strictly banning quality qualifiers such as 'superiore' and 'riserva' on its labels. It highlights rare indigenous varieties; while the red blend features Avanà and Becuet, the DOC uniquely permits a monovarietal white wine from the Baratuciat grape. These specialized monovarietal wines must adhere to a strict maximum yield of 7.0 tons per hectare, resulting in dry, acidulous, and highly localized wines reaching a minimum of 11.0% vol.
