What grows here

Martina Franca

17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

In the dry, sun-drenched hills of Puglia's Taranto province, Martina Franca harnesses a unique karst microclimate to craft exceptional food and wine. This municipality acts as the cradle for Capocollo di Martina Franca IGP, a spiced, oak-smoked cured pork collar produced across just three territories. The area's limestone soils also nurture the white wine grapes that define the crisp Martina DOC. Currently home to 1 verified professional producer, this single enclave boasts an impressive overlap of 17 protected denominations, cementing its status as an essential southern Italian gastronomic sanctuary.
