Cavallirio

16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Situated some thirty-four kilometers from Novara's provincial center, Cavallirio offers an intimate glimpse into northern Piedmontese viticulture. This quiet enclave hosts 2 verified producers, with 1 open for visits, dedicated to preserving rare viticultural assets. Chief among its 16 protected denominations is the highly localized Boca DOC, a wine shared among just five municipalities, followed by the broader Colline Novaresi DOC. The local porphyry-rich soils and Alpine foothills create the ideal microclimate for these intense, mineral-driven reds, proving that Cavallirio's specific terroir is what defines these sought-after Italian wines.
