What grows here
San Procopio
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on the Tyrrhenian slopes of the Aspromonte massif, between the Sèvina and Màngani riverbeds, San Procopio looks out over the Gioia Tauro plain. This distinctive terrain, shaped by its coastal proximity and mountain influence, fosters ideal conditions for specialized agricultural production. Here, the unique microclimate is crucial for the cultivation of citrus that yields the exquisite Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP, a denomination extending across 97 municipalities. San Procopio proudly contributes to a total of 12 protected Italian denominations, including Clementine di Calabria IGP and several traditional cured meats like Salsiccia di Calabria DOP, embodying the region's rich taste heritage born from its specific landscape.
