San Roberto
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
San Roberto, a municipality in Italy's Reggio Calabria metropolitan area, owes its distinctive produce to the unique environmental conditions of southern Calabria. This specific locale is paramount for cultivating Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria - Olio essenziale DOP, a globally prized essential oil. The particular microclimate and fertile soils here provide the ideal terroir for the bergamot citrus fruit, found almost exclusively in this narrow coastal strip. In total, 12 protected origins converge in this territory, also encompassing the sweet Clementine di Calabria IGP and zones for distinct Calabria IGT wines. San Roberto thus profoundly shapes the region's renowned culinary identity.
