What grows here
Pescaglia
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the forested valleys of Lucca province, the quiet territory of Pescaglia—home to just over 3,100 residents—creates a unique microclimate where maritime drafts meet mountain shelter. This topography shapes 15 protected denominations. Foremost is Lucca DOP, an extra virgin olive oil cultivated across a restricted zone of 19 municipalities, famed for its delicate, buttery profile. Alongside, the slopes feed the vineyards of Costa Toscana IGT, a coastal wine denomination spanning 101 municipalities. Here, the rugged Apuan foothills infuse these local liquid treasures with an elegant, mineral-rich character that defines Northern Tuscany’s terroir.
