What grows here
Santa Domenica Talao
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Santa Domenica Talao, situated on Calabria's Upper Tyrrhenian coast, draws its name from the ancient Lao river, whose waters once nurtured the Greek colony of Laos. This precise location, where the river meets the coastal environment, cultivates a singular terroir. It is here that the exquisite Cedro di Santa Maria del Cedro DOP thrives, a unique citrus fruit specific to a zone of just 18 municipalities. The vineyards around this town also contribute to the characterful Terre di Cosenza DOC wines. Overall, Santa Domenica Talao is a guardian of 13 protected denominations, each a testament to its distinctive agricultural bounty.
