What grows here
Potenza
6 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Potenza, the provincial and regional capital of Basilicata, holds a pivotal position that shapes its agricultural identity. Here, a confluence of specific altitudes and historical practices nurtures unique produce. The municipality contributes to the origin of six distinct protected denominations, including the highly localised Fagiolo di Sarconi IGP, cultivated across a zone of just 100 municipalities, known for its delicate texture. Furthermore, the robust character of Pecorino di Filiano DOP cheese thrives here, alongside the distinctive wines under the Basilicata IGT, both spanning a broader 131-municipality area. This particular terroir, influenced by its Apennine surroundings, is indispensable to these exceptional culinary expressions.
