What grows here
Martone
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Martone, a small comune of 479 inhabitants within Italy's Reggio Calabria metropolitan area, stands as a testament to Calabria's distinctive agricultural heritage. The region's unique microclimate, shaped by proximity to the Ionian Sea and local topography, fosters specific crops. This is precisely why the fragrant Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP, originating from a zone spanning 97 municipalities, finds its ideal conditions here. Beyond this distinctive citrus essence, Martone also contributes to the authenticity of 11 other protected denominations, including the succulent Clementine di Calabria IGP and several traditional cured meats like Capocollo di Calabria DOP, reflecting the deep-rooted flavors nurtured by generations in this particular corner of southern Italy.
