What grows here
Vallo di Nera
8 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Vallo di Nera, a modest municipality, is perched on a prominent hill marking the opening of the Valnerina, the Nera river valley. This specific terrain, shaped by its well-preserved historical character, fosters a unique environment for exceptional produce. Among the 8 protected denominations found here, the Farro di Monteleone di Spoleto DOP truly embodies the locale. This ancient spelt, originating from a zone covering just 6 municipalities, thrives in the specific microclimates of these Umbrian highlands. This deep connection between Vallo di Nera's landscape and its agricultural heritage dictates the very character of its renowned foods.
