Angelucci Davide

At Luco dei Marsi, Davide Angelucci cultivates Patata del Fucino IGP on what was once a lakebed. The Fucino plateau, drained through one of the country's most impressive hydraulic reclamation projects, offers a unique, deep, and fertile soil that is unparalleled elsewhere and imparts inimitable characteristics to the potato. The fruit of this land is a potato of remarkable density, with an intact skin and firm flesh, boasting a regular geometry that is both a gift from the soil and the result of generations accustomed to working it. The protected denomination safeguards precisely this link between technique and place: cultivating here means keeping alive both a landscape reclaimed from water by engineering and a product that cannot be replicated in other plains. Angelucci's commitment lies in this continuity, where the care of the reclaimed basin and the quality of the harvest are two sides of the same coin. Each tuber carries with it the memory of the vanished lake and the fertility that has taken its place.
