Inside the production zone

Towns of ours that the Bra DOP zone covers, read from the denomination’s own published rules. Lying inside a zone is a smaller claim than being the place people mean when they say the name, which is why these sit apart from the ones above.

• Limone Piemonte

  Province: Cuneo · 1,000 m

  A ski village at 1,000 meters in the Vermenagna valley, the southern end of the Alps where the Tenda tunnel drops toward the Côte d'Azur.

• Ormea

  Province: Cuneo · 736 m

  A heart-shaped Ligurian-Alps borgo at 736 meters in the upper Tanaro valley, the southernmost town in Piemonte before the Imperia ridge.

• Ostana

  Province: Cuneo · 1,280 m

  An 85-resident Occitan-speaking alpine borgo at 1,280m in the upper Po valley, rebuilt from near-abandonment into an architecturally celebrated mountain village with a direct frontal view of Monviso.

Catalogue note: this is what we can document, not everything that qualifies. Where a zone is written in law as a whole province rather than a list of communes, we never expand it to towns, so a town missing here has not been ruled out. Plenty of comuni inside the wider zone also sit outside our catalogue of 1,000. See how the data is sourced.
