What grows here
Carovigno
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Carovigno, situated in the northern Salento expanse within Brindisi province, benefits from a unique confluence of Adriatic breezes and sun-drenched plains, fostering distinctive agricultural output. This geographical advantage helps produce specialties like the famed Carciofo Brindisino IGP, a protected artichoke cultivated across only 8 municipalities. The land here also yields the specific terroir for Ostuni DOC wines, a denomination limited to just 7 local towns, showcasing its hyper-local character. Furthermore, the robust olive oil from the Collina di Brindisi DOP finds its genesis in these very groves. In total, Carovigno contributes to no fewer than 13 protected food and wine denominations, highlighting its significant role in Puglia's gastronomic landscape.
