Villa Collemandina
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Villa Collemandina, a municipality within the Garfagnana region of Lucca province, lies directly within the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park. This particular mountainous setting provides the ideal conditions for highly localized treasures. Among these are Farro della Garfagnana IGP, an ancient spelt, and the distinctive Farina di Neccio della Garfagnana DOP, derived from chestnuts cultivated in these very slopes. Such a specific environment contributes to the municipality's impressive total of 15 protected food and wine denominations. A single dedicated producer based here continues to craft these specialties, preserving the authentic flavors born solely from this unique Apennine landscape.
