What grows here
Sturno
7 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Within the Avellino province, Sturno serves as a vital point in Italy's food map, particularly for products defined by the distinct Irpinia territory. This municipality contributes to no fewer than 7 protected denominations, a testament to its unique agricultural legacy. Foremost among these is the Irpinia - Colline dell'Ufita DOP, an olive oil whose character is shaped by the specific microclimate and soil found across its compact zone of just 38 municipalities. Here, the Ufita hills provide ideal conditions for olives, just as they do for the grapes that give life to the acclaimed Irpinia DOC wines. Sturno's very ground, rooted in the historical Irpinia region, thus imparts an unmistakable identity to its celebrated food and wine.
