What grows here
Bonifati
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched at 425 meters above sea level on the north-western slopes of Calabria's Coastal Range, Bonifati's specific conditions yield exceptional protected origins. This unique elevation and coastal influence contribute to the distinctiveness of 13 protected denominations found here. Most notably, the Cedro di Santa Maria del Cedro DOP, a citrus fruit from a narrow zone of just 18 municipalities, finds ideal growing conditions. The diverse terrain also fosters the grapes for Terre di Cosenza DOC wines, spanning a broader but still defined area of 150 municipalities. From these slopes to the nearby Tyrrhenian sea, Bonifati ’s environment sculpts its renowned food and wine heritage.
