What grows here
Carrara
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Co-governing its namesake northwestern Tuscan province alongside Massa, Carrara is the exclusive birthplace of Lardo di Colonnata IGP, a cured specialty aged in local white marble basins. The steep, mineral-heavy slopes of the Apuan Alps also nurture the vines of Candia dei Colli Apuani DOC, a wine shared with just two neighboring territories. In total, Carrara hosts 17 protected denominations. Five verified producers are based in this municipality, with one offering tours to travelers seeking an authentic taste of this rugged quarry landscape.
