What grows here
Escolca
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Below the slopes of the basaltic Giara di Serri plateau, the village of Escolca nurtures agricultural specialties shaped by this distinct Sardinian terrain. Within this territory, which shares 17 protected denominations, the volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate yield the prized Carciofo Spinoso di Sardegna DOP, a thorny artichoke cultivated across a zone of 128 municipalities. The local hills also foster viticulture, most notably represented by Provincia di Nuoro IGT wines, restricted to a zone of 100 municipalities, and the crisp Nuragus di Cagliari DOC, which thrives in these ancient, sun-baked soils.
