What grows here
Reggio di Calabria
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Reggio di Calabria, a historic urban center at Italy's southern tip, uniquely cradles viticultural expressions like Pellaro IGT, a wine designation shared by just two municipalities. The same specific terroir, influenced by its coastal position near the Strait of Messina, also fosters Arghillà IGT and the globally prized Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP. These distinct conditions, marrying sea breezes with specific local soils, enable the cultivation of produce found nowhere else. Indeed, this municipality is home to 14 protected denominations, each testament to its singular environment, supporting a dedicated producer who safeguards this rich heritage.
