The story

What you're tasting

The legacy title Fico di Carmignano previously carried unsupported DOP and fresh-fig claims. Carmignano's municipal disciplinary instead identifies Fico Secco di Carmignano, a documented local dried-fig product. Its described scope is the hill territory of Carmignano and Poggio a Caiano in the Province of Prato, using Dottato figs. The European Commission eAmbrosia public GI register returned no exact-name record for Fico di Carmignano or Fico Secco di Carmignano when checked on 17 August 2026. This time-sensitive result requires a fresh check before any publication decision.
