What grows here
Canale Monterano
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Emerging from the historical footprint of Monterano, now a haunting ghost city, Canale Monterano cultivates a distinct terroir where 13 protected denominations flourish. Among these, the distinctive Tarquinia DOC wine finds its specific expression, thriving across a zone spanning just 30 municipalities. Complementing this, the acclaimed Nocciola Romana DOP, a hazelnut cultivated across a zone of 37 municipalities, benefits from the unique volcanic soils and microclimate. This confluence of ancient geological past and dedicated agricultural practice gives rise to exceptional local produce, directly reflecting generations of specific cultivation methods on its rich Lazio lands.
