Candeloro Francesco 82

In the reclaimed plains of Luco dei Marsi, Candeloro Francesco 82 cultivates **Patata del Fucino IGP** on the ancient lakebed that today yields tubers of regular shape and distinct compactness. This is the company's sole denomination, and it aligns with a precise landscape: that of the Fucino basin, drained by hydraulic engineering centuries ago that reshaped the local geography. The protected area of nine municipalities defines more than just an administrative boundary. The drained, mineral-rich soils determine the density of the flesh and the skin's resistance to damage, qualities recognized by the regulations and sought after by the market. Each harvest carries the memory of that dried lakebed, transforming a story of hydraulic engineering into a measurable agronomic characteristic. Here, the denomination primarily speaks of the soil: the terrain's composition, more than cultivation practices, explains why the **Patata del Fucino** arrives in the kitchen with its distinctive firmness and regularity.
