What grows here
Cisternino
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cisternino, a municipality in Puglia’s Brindisi province, cultivates a distinctive identity rooted in its historical past, once part of the wider Terra di Bari within the Kingdom of Naples until 1927. This specific geography underpins its remarkable agricultural bounty, which yields 14 protected denominations. Preeminent among these are the Capocollo di Martina Franca IGP, a prized cured pork hailing from a mere 3 municipalities, and the bright Locorotondo DOC wine, also defined by a tight 3-municipality growing area. The particular soil and microclimate of this terrain further foster the robust Collina di Brindisi DOP olive oil and the expressive Valle d'Itria IGT wines, encapsulating the region's deep connection to its land.
