10 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated in the Chieti province of Abruzzo, Altino is a crucible for exceptional Italian tastes. The municipality's particular geography, influenced by the Majella mountains to its west and the Adriatic Sea to its east, cultivates a distinct microclimate, crucial for its agricultural patrimony. No less than 10 protected denominations find their roots or overlap within Altino's boundaries. Chief among these is the prized Colline Teatine DOP olive oil, whose character is shaped by the region's ancient olive groves and unique soil. Additionally, acclaimed wines such as Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC and Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC attest to this specific corner of Abruzzo's suitability for viticulture.
