What grows here
Cleto
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In Cleto, a small Calabrian municipality of 1,265 inhabitants in Cosenza province, the very landscape shapes its unique produce. The specific microclimates and hilly terrain here, especially within the Savuto river basin, provide ideal conditions for viticulture, leading to wines like the highly localized Savuto DOC, a designation shared by only 20 municipalities. This distinct environment underpins Cleto's contribution to a total of 13 protected denominations. Beyond Savuto, the area also yields the broader Terre di Cosenza DOC and various renowned Calabrian food specialties, ensuring each product distinctly embodies the authentic character of this particular corner of Calabria.
