What grows here
Riva presso Chieri
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
The clay soils and gentle hills rising just east of Turin's metropolitan sprawl define the specialized terroir of Riva presso Chieri. Here, shallow clay-pit ponds sustain the Tinca Gobba Dorata del Pianalto di Poirino DOP, a distinctive golden tench prized by culinary experts. On the surrounding sunny ridges, winegrowers cultivate Freisa di Chieri DOC, a historic red wine restricted to a micro-zone of just 13 municipalities. In total, 17 overlapping protected denominations thrive within this single municipal boundary, illustrating the exceptional gastronomic diversity born from this specific Piedmontese landscape.
