What grows here
Bellegra
10 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Bellegra, perched at an elevation of 815 meters above sea level in Lazio, owes its distinct agricultural bounty to this very position. The specific microclimate fostered by its highland setting contributes to the production of exceptional goods. This municipality falls squarely within the designated zones for prized local specialities such as Olio di Roma IGP, an olive oil originating from a region encompassing 359 municipalities. Similarly, it is a key area for both Ricotta Romana DOP and Abbacchio Romano IGP, denominations each spanning 378 municipalities. These local products, along with Lazio IGT wines and the broader Pecorino Romano DOP, contribute to a total of 10 protected denominations, all rooted in Bellegra's unique elevated landscape.
