What grows here
Tuscania
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Tuscania, a commune within Lazio's Viterbo province, is a fount of distinct flavours rooted in its ancient volcanic soils. Here, the unique terroir, shaped by the Etruscan heritage of the region, fosters exceptional agricultural output. Among the 15 protected denominations found within its borders, two stand out for their tight connection to the immediate area: the prized Asparago verde di Canino IGP, cultivated in a zone spanning just 7 municipalities, and the robust Canino DOP olive oil, originating from a mere 8 communes. These local treasures are complemented by wines like Tarquinia DOC, embodying the region's deep viticultural history.
