Salame Piemonte is a soft, short-matured PGI salami of marbled pork with salt, pepper, garlic, cloves, nutmeg and more than 0.25 % Piedmont PDO red wine from Nebbiolo, Barbera or Dolcetto grapes. It is stuffed into natural casings 40–90 mm wide and matured for 10 to 84 days, depending on its width. It must taste sweet and never acidic, with a pH of at least 5.2.

Lactic acid bacteria
The lean and fat are first held in ventilated cold rooms so they start to lose water, which leaves the paste low in moisture.

Salame Piemonte is a soft, short-matured PGI salami of marbled pork with salt, pepper, garlic, cloves, nutmeg and more than 0.25 % Piedmont PDO red wine from Nebbiolo, Barbera or Dolcetto grapes. It is stuffed into natural casings 40–90 mm wide and matured for 10 to 84 days, depending on its width. It must taste sweet and never acidic, with a pH of at least 5.2. Made in 5 steps over 10 days – 2.8 months. The longest step, mature, takes 10 days – 2.8 months (European Commission 2025). Salt is up to 3 % (European Commission 2025). Lactic acid bacteria and cocci does most of the fermenting.
Salame Piemonte is defined by its Piedmont PDO red wine and a short maturing time, which keeps it soft and sweet. Its maximum maturing times are set as well as its minimums.
The single document sets salt at most 3 %, pH at least 5.2 and a water/protein ratio of at most 2.00, and bans aids that hold water in the meat. These are figures for controlled production, not a home method. Washington State University Extension does not recommend making dry sausage at home, because S. aureus toxin can form if fermentation is not rigidly controlled.
Giovanni Vialardi, cook to the House of Savoy, described a pork salami with a glass of Barbera wine in 1854. The Turin Chamber of Commerce fortnightly lists have carried Salame Piemonte since 1948. It was registered as an EU PGI in 2015.
