Spilinga
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Spilinga, a modest Calabrian community of 1,344 inhabitants in the Vibo Valentia province, holds a disproportionately rich bounty for ItalyTasteMap. This distinct corner of Calabria is shaped by its unique terrain and traditions, yielding 13 protected denominations. Foremost among them are the renowned Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP, nurtured by specific coastal microclimates, and the robust Pecorino del Monte Poro DOP, benefiting from pastures within its 27-municipality zone. The local terroir provides the precise conditions for these exceptional products, reflecting a heritage deeply rooted in Spilinga's specific geography, distinguishing it from the broader Calabria region.
