What grows here
Santa Severina
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched 326 meters high on a formidable rocky hill, Santa Severina commands expansive views stretching from the Neto river valley to the Ionian coast. This distinctive landscape, shaped by elevation and maritime influence, is the cradle for an impressive array of regional specialities. Here, among a total of 14 protected denominations, wines like Melissa DOC thrive, benefiting from a zone covering only 14 municipalities. The rich pasturelands also yield ingredients for Pecorino Crotonese DOP, while broader Calabrian specialities such as Capocollo di Calabria DOP and Liquirizia di Calabria DOP also find a home in this singular territory.
