What grows here
Cavasso Nuovo
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the foothills of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the small community of Cavasso Nuovo, home to just 1,474 residents, preserves some of Italy’s most distinctive gastronomic treasures. This specific alpine terrain shaped the creation of Pitina IGP, a unique cured meat born in a restricted zone of just 12 municipalities where preservation in mountain valleys was once a survival necessity. The stony soils and alpine drafts also nurture the vines of the Friuli Grave DOC. Across its territory, Cavasso Nuovo hosts 16 protected designations, representing a masterclass in how rugged terrain can yield intense, resilient flavors.
