Italian term or phrase: territorio di elezione
I think this is from a website or brochure:

In Val di Non in particolare, domina un paesaggio fatto di dolci colline incastonate in una cornice di montagne, territorio di elezione della Mela Dop trentina, unica in Italia a vantare questo marchio.

Is there a specific technical term for "territorio di elezione"?

Thanks.

area offering the most favorable conditions, area of choice


Explanation:
It says that the gently rolling hills nestled in a mountain setting offer the most favorable conditions for growing the renown Trentino 's apples.

I found this text on the Internet
http://www.visittrentino.it/en/articolo/dett/prodotti-dop-tr...
Trentino is perhaps most renowned for its apples. This is not just a simple coincidence. Given its particularly favourable climate, apples are grown on vast tracks of land in the area,

also http://www.italos.it/italia/localita/trentino-alto-adige-loc...

Le mele Melinda della Val di Non in Trentino Alto Adige sono famose praticamente in tutto il mondo soprattutto perchè parliamo di un marchio che è sinonimo di qualità e che, a testimonianza del lavoro e dell’impegno dei contadini che le coltivano, nel 2003 ha ricevuto il marchio D.O.P. dall’Unione Europea, un riconoscimento importantissimo se si pensa che sono poco più di venti le D.O.P. attribuite alle produzioni di frutta fresca in Europa.
