Only three municipalities in eastern Sicily hold the primary reputation for cultivating the authentic Sicilian blood orange, and Carlentini is one of them. Sharing this agricultural legacy with Lentini and Francofonte, the town of nearly 18,000 residents sits on Colle Meta Grande, exactly 45 kilometers outside Syracuse.
Geographically, the settlement bridges flatlands and highlands. It overlooks the Catania Plain while resting against the lower slopes of Monte Pancali and the Iblean Mountains. With Lake Lentini situated just beyond its borders, the town provides a straightforward reference point for navigating the region's citrus-growing landscape.
