Ornavasso

At the threshold of the rugged Val Grande National Park, the alpine wilderness of Ornavasso shapes a microclimate where 17 protected denominations thrive. Two verified local producers harness this extreme Piedmontese landscape to craft highly localized specialties. Chief among these is the Valli Ossolane DOC wine, a viticultural expression limited to a zone of 17 municipalities, and the mountain-born Ossolano DOP cheese, restricted to 37. From steep terraced vineyards to high pastures, Ornavasso’s distinctive environment infuses concentrated alpine character into every bottle and cheese wheel crafted here.
