Welcomed from the age of six into the Turin youth team, he played in the lower divisions with the shirts of Varese and Siena , to which he was loaned. Returning to Turin, he made his Serie A debut on 14 September 2002 against Inter.  With the Granata relegated to Serie B, he became one of the most important men in the team. 

In the 2004-2005 Serie B championship with Torino he earned promotion to the top flight.  This promotion achieved on the pitch was lost due to the club's bankruptcy during the problematic pre-season training camp. On 10 August 2005 Balzaretti, like all the other players, was released and left free to make an agreement with another team.
