What grows here
Cipressa
6 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Within the Ligurian province of Imperia, Cipressa's dramatic terraced hillsides, sculpted by centuries of human effort, descend towards the Mediterranean Sea, fostering a singular agricultural identity. This precise microclimate, marrying maritime influences with protective mountains, acts as the crucible for several esteemed origins. It is here that dedicated cultivators grow olives destined for the globally recognized Olive taggiasche liguri IGP and press them into the delicate Riviera Ligure DOP olive oil. Viticulture also thrives, yielding distinctive wines under the Terrazze dell'Imperiese IGT, a specific designation covering 66 municipalities. This unique interaction of terrain, climate, and enduring tradition defines Cipressa's distinctive contributions to ItalyTasteMap.
