The Becuet grape is an indigenous variety of the upper and middle Val Susa, where it has been cultivated since time immemorial. Located near Turin, the vineyards in Val Susa, where Becuet is grown alongside Avanà, another indigenous grape of the same area, reach the highest altitudes possible for vines, sometimes pushing beyond 1000 meters. Here, the vines grow among rocks and stone walls, and the terracing that characterizes the landscape allows for the creation of cultivable land where the slope is too steep.

Becuet is a vigorous grape variety with small, cylindrical or conical, loose clusters, and oval-shaped berries with very thick skins. Its low resistance to powdery mildew is likely the reason its cultivation has not spread beyond the confines of Val Susa. Wines made from Becuet grapes generally have a notable extract and a high polyphenolic content. Becuet is rarely vinified as a pure variety and is mainly used as an enhancer in blends with other grapes, such as the local Avanà, used in the wines of the Valsusa DOC, like Ramìe, to which it adds body, structure, and color. When vinified as a pure variety, especially from late-harvested grapes, Becuet wines are rich in body and structure, suitable for long aging in wooden barrels.
