What grows here
Genzano di Roma
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising within the metropolitan area of Rome, this volcanic hillside community of over 22,000 residents nurtures a highly specialized culinary heritage. Genzano di Roma is the sole birthplace of Pane casareccio di Genzano IGP, a famous wood-fired wheat sourdough prized for its dark, thick crust. These same fertile, well-drained slopes yield the white grapes for Colli Lanuvini DOC, a historic wine shared with just one neighboring municipality. Currently, 3 verified local producers preserve these distinct artisanal flavors, which anchor a territory boasting 15 overlapping protected food and wine denominations.
