What grows here
Mottalciata
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Mottalciata, a quiet Biella commune of just over twelve hundred residents, occupies a strategic ecological niche where Piedmontese hills slope toward the plain. This specific terrain shapes two highly localized culinary icons out of 16 protected denominations overlapping here. Along the sunny, gravelly slopes, vintners craft Coste della Sesia DOC, a wine shared with only 15 other municipalities. Meanwhile, the clay-heavy flatlands hold the water necessary for Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP, a unique rice variety cultivated across a restricted zone of 28 communes.
