What grows here
Castelnuovo di Porto
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched north of Rome in the Lazio region, Castelnuovo di Porto serves as a vital origin for Italian protected foods and wines. The municipality's specific terrain, marked by ancient volcanic influence, imparts distinct characteristics to its produce. Of the 12 protected denominations here, it is particularly central to the Bianco Capena DOC, a wine zone spanning just 4 municipalities. This local advantage also extends to the Roma DOC wine, encompassing 64 municipalities, and the celebrated Olio di Roma IGP olive oil, firmly establishing Castelnuovo di Porto on Italy's taste map.
