Carpegna is set within the largest Turkey-oak forest in Europe, the Sasso Simone and Simoncello Nature Park. We are in Montefeltro, 750 m above sea level, in the borderland between Emilia-Romagna, Marche and Tuscany.
The area’s microclimate is unique.
The salty air of the nearby Adriatic meets the resinous currents of the Montefeltro hills. The climate is dry and the air — crisp and typical of the foothills — carries a surprising scent of the sea.
The distinctive microclimate of the area is one of the secrets that make Prosciutto di Carpegna DOP unique.
