What grows here
Fonte Nuova
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Though a relatively young municipality, formally established in 2001 within the vast Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Fonte Nuova's scattered territory intrinsically links it to the ancient agricultural heartlands surrounding the Eternal City. This unique formation has preserved pockets of prime terrain, nurturing specific products that proudly carry the region's heritage. Among the 12 protected denominations overlapping here, the area is particularly celebrated for its liquid gold: Sabina DOP olive oil, a designation shared by only three municipalities. Its fertile soils also contribute significantly to the prestigious Roma DOC wines, showcasing a terroir historically dedicated to viticulture. Fonte Nuova, therefore, represents a vital crossroads where Roman history meets distinctive local produce.
