SANTARELLI FRANCESCO

In the heart of the L'Aquila mountains, Francesco Santarelli raises Agnello del Centro Italia IGP, a Protected Geographical Indication lamb whose defining character emerges from a precise production arc: young animals transition from milk feeding to grazing on the central Italian uplands. His operation participates in a denomination spanning 1403 municipalities across three regions, yet the specificity of L'Aquila's terroir—its altitude, seasonal pasture rotation, and hardy breeds—shapes meat of recognized lightness and flavor. Santarelli's commitment to this classified system ensures traceability from birth through slaughter, anchoring his work to standards that distinguish castrated and heavy carcasses alike.
