What grows here
Roghudi
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched within the metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria, Roghudi's modest population of 895 residents presides over a specific terroir critical for 12 protected denominations. The unique microclimate, shaped by its proximity to the Ionian Sea and the Aspromonte foothills, fosters conditions ideal for the Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP, originating from a zone covering 97 municipalities. This distinctive citrus thrives here, its aromatic essence defining the regional identity. Moreover, the local sun and coastal breezes ensure the quality of Clementine di Calabria IGP and contribute to robust Calabria IGT wines, all embodying the deep agricultural heritage rooted in this precise corner of southern Italy.
