This region, granted Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status since 1985, stretches over a uniquely mountainous territory, offering an exceptional terroir for viticulture.

Among the native grapes are Petit Rouge, Fumin, and Prié Blanc, which give rise to typically mountain wines with subtle and refined nuances. The red wines are distinguished by their delicate structure, while the whites captivate with their freshness and minerality.
