What grows here
Collevecchio
11 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Positioned within the Sabina hills of Lazio's Rieti province, Collevecchio, home to 1,571 inhabitants, benefits from a unique geographical setting. This specific environment, characterized by its rolling terrain and favorable microclimate, cultivates the conditions for 11 distinct protected denominations. The highly localized Colli della Sabina DOC wine, for instance, springs from the viticultural traditions spanning just 25 municipalities, directly reflecting this unique terroir. Furthermore, the region's ancient olive groves, flourishing on these sun-drenched slopes, are fundamental to the acclaimed Olio di Roma IGP. Collevecchio therefore exemplifies how its specific landscape directly shapes the authentic flavours originating here.
