What grows here
Blera
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Blera, a municipality tucked within Lazio's Viterbo province, finds itself on ancient Etruscan lands where volcanic soils and a unique microclimate foster exceptional produce. This distinct terroir is the birthplace of 14 protected denominations that overlap its territory. Prominently, the area contributes to the acclaimed Tarquinia DOC wine, thriving in a zone covering just 30 municipalities, and the prized Nocciola Romana DOP hazelnut, cultivated across 37 municipalities known for their rich volcanic earth. The unique interplay of geology and history also underpins the distinct character of Colli Etruschi Viterbesi DOC wines and Tuscia DOP olive oil. Blera's very ground dictates the specific flavours that emerge here.
