What grows here
Nocara
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Nocara, perched on a limestone cliff at 859 meters in the northernmost reaches of Calabria, embodies a unique terroir. This municipality, which hosts the region's absolute northernmost point, benefits from a specific microclimate and geological foundation that nurture distinctive produce. Among the 12 protected denominations overlapping here, the area is notably recognized for its Terre di Cosenza DOC wines. The same conditions that lend character to its viticulture also favour the cultivation of Clementine di Calabria IGP, a testament to Nocara's particular agricultural identity shaped by its altitude and position overlooking the Sinni river valley.
