What grows here
Ricadi
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Ricadi, positioned on Calabria's Tyrrhenian coast within the Vibo Valentia province, offers a unique microclimate integral to its distinctive produce. The specific mineral-rich, red soil found here, particularly around nearby Tropea, gives rise to the celebrated Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP, an onion cultivated across a defined zone of just 23 municipalities. Concurrently, the elevated pastures of Monte Poro, a short distance inland, provide the ideal conditions for the robust Pecorino del Monte Poro DOP. This municipality contributes to 13 protected denominations, with one verified producer actively preserving these authentic Calabrian flavors born from its singular landscape.
