What grows here
San Marcello Piteglio
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated in the Pistoia province, San Marcello Piteglio, formed in 2017 by the union of San Marcello Pistoiese and Piteglio, provides specific conditions for regional specialities. The municipality's varied altitudes and particular microclimates are key to the character of no fewer than 13 protected denominations. Among them, the ingredients for Pane Toscano DOP, the unsalted bread fundamental to Tuscan cuisine, achieve their distinctive quality here. Similarly, the unique environment shapes the beloved Cantuccini Toscani IGP, the crunchy almond biscuits, whose production zone spans 273 Tuscan municipalities. This area, with its unique blend of geography and tradition, ensures the authentic expression of these celebrated foods and wines.
