Fara Novarese

In this pocket of Piedmont's Novara province, home to just over 2,000 residents, the acidic clay soils shape the rare Fara DOC. This highly localized wine denomination, shared with only one neighboring municipality, thrives on these specific sun-exposed hillsides. It leads a diverse collection of 17 protected denominations that define the local terroir, including the broader Colline Novaresi DOC. Currently, 3 verified wine producers operate within the municipal boundaries, preserving these distinctive Piedmontese blends. For travelers seeking firsthand experiences, 2 of these local cellars regularly open their doors to share their craft.
