Mele del Trentino
Food · PGI · 166 municipalities
The Mele del Trentino IGP represents a geographically vast yet currently dormant designation within the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region. Formally recognized by the European Union in 2017, this protected geographical indication encompasses a defined production zone of 166 municipalities, starting alphabetically with the territory of Ala. What distinguishes this particular denomination from neighboring apple appellations is its absolute lack of active cultivation under the official label; despite its broad geographical footprint, the registry currently lists zero verified producers. This creates a unique regulatory situation where a massive designated apple-growing territory exists entirely on paper, waiting for local orchards to claim its status.
