What grows here
Camporgiano
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
The alpine valleys of the Garfagnana basin, where under two thousand residents live in this Lucca province enclave, shape the microclimates of Camporgiano. This rugged terrain nurtures 15 protected denominations, championed by 5 verified local producers. Here, the unique soil and mountain air foster Farro della Garfagnana IGP, an ancient spelt cultivated on steep slopes, alongside Farina di Neccio della Garfagnana DOP, a sweet chestnut flour ground from trees that cling to the surrounding Apennine ridges. These specialized crops define a food culture deeply rooted in the historical isolation of this mountain terrain.
