What grows here
Francavilla Marittima
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
At the northern edge of Calabria, Francavilla Marittima, with its roughly 2,700 inhabitants in the province of Cosenza, embodies a specific interplay of land and sea that nurtures exceptional produce. This coastal influence, combined with inland terrain, is crucial for the grapes yielding Terre di Cosenza DOC, a wine denomination spanning only 150 municipalities. Beyond this local wine, the municipality is a vital contributor to a total of 12 protected denominations, including the vibrant Clementine di Calabria IGP and celebrated cured meats like Capocollo di Calabria DOP. Francavilla Marittima's distinct geography thus fosters a concentrated legacy of specific, acclaimed Calabrian flavors.
