Malito
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Malito, a distinctive community nestled in Italy's Cosenza province, forms a crucial part of Calabria's protected food and wine tapestry. Its specific terrain and microclimate, shaped by the surrounding mountains and its position within the Savuto river valley area, cultivate an ideal environment for unique agricultural products. This inherent distinctiveness underpins the origin of the Savuto DOC, a wine zone encompassing just 20 municipalities, with Malito at its heart. Overall, the municipality contributes to a remarkable 13 protected denominations, including the broader Terre di Cosenza DOC wines and acclaimed local specialties such as Soppressata di Calabria DOP, born from centuries-old traditions intrinsically tied to this specific corner of the region.
