Santo Stefano del Sole
8 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Nestled in the Avellino province of Campania, Santo Stefano del Sole is a focal point for distinctive regional produce. Its specific conditions, shaped by the inland geography, create the ideal environment for the cultivation of the acclaimed Marrone di Serino IGP chestnut, a prized foodstuff limited to just 18 municipalities. Here too, the Fiano di Avellino DOCG white wine finds its authentic expression, thriving within a delimited area of 26 municipalities. While this territory encompasses 8 protected denominations in total, it is the unique interplay of local soils and microclimate that truly defines the character of these highly localized treasures, making Santo Stefano del Sole a vital stop on Italy’s taste map.
