What grows here
Altavilla Silentina
11 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Altavilla Silentina, located within Campania's Salerno province, thrives in a landscape shaped by the Silarus river plain, an area renowned for its agricultural fertility. This specific geography is the bedrock for no fewer than 11 protected food and wine denominations that claim this territory. Central among these is the Carciofo di Paestum IGP, a distinct artichoke cultivated within a mere 14 municipalities, Altavilla Silentina being a key producer. The municipality also forms a significant part of the larger zone for Paestum IGT wines, reflecting centuries of viticultural tradition uniquely expressed here.
