What grows here
Caprese Michelangelo
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Caprese Michelangelo, situated within the Tuscan province of Arezzo, is a vital locus for Italy's protected food and wine origins. This municipality, shaped by its specific altitude and unique soil conditions, is the distinct home of the prized Marrone di Caprese Michelangelo DOP, a chestnut denomination confined to a zone of only two municipalities. Contributing to a total of 14 protected denominations, Caprese Michelangelo also plays a part in renowned regional specialties like Cantuccini Toscani IGP and Cinta Senese DOP. The local environment here provides the essential character for these products, from its most intensely local gem to wider Tuscan treasures.
