What grows here
Patù
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Patù, situated in the unique environment of southern Salento, where Puglia's arid landscape meets the Ionian Sea's influences, exemplifies agricultural specificity. This small municipality is where the acclaimed Patata novella di Galatina DOP finds its ideal home, cultivated across a precise zone of just 18 municipalities. Beyond these tender new potatoes, Patù's distinct terroir fosters the olives destined for Terra d'Otranto DOP olive oil, and vines yielding Negroamaro di Terra d'Otranto DOC wines. In total, 12 protected food and wine denominations are rooted in this singular corner, a direct reflection of its ancient soils and maritime-tempered climate.
