What grows here
Capannori
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Sprawling across the fertile plains and clay-rich foothills of the Lucca province, Capannori hosts a densely populated agrarian landscape where olive trees and vineyards thrive. This unique geography fuels 17 protected denominations. Chief among these is the Colline Lucchesi DOC, a wine shared with just a zone of 3 municipalities, and the neighboring Montecarlo DOC, limited to a zone of 4. On the terraced slopes, farmers harvest olives for the delicate Lucca DOP olive oil. These microclimates yield highly localized sensory profiles, proving that Capannori’s agricultural dominance shapes the very glass and plate of northern Tuscany.
