What grows here
Cles
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
As the principal town of the high-altitude Val di Non, Cles shapes a unique alpine microclimate where cold mountain drafts meet intense high-elevation sunlight. This distinctive terroir fuels the cultivation of the Mela Val di Non DOP, an apple variety protected across just 39 local municipalities. Here, the fruit gains its signature crunch and balanced acidity. The town's orchard heritage also fuels spirits like the Distillato di mele trentino IG. In total, this Alpine hub boasts 20 protected food and drink denominations, proving that Cles is a concentrated powerhouse of Northern Italian gastronomic identity.
