What grows here
Vazzano
11 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on a hillside approximately 350 meters above sea level, Vazzano occupies a prime position on the western slopes of the Serre Calabresi mountains. This elevated terrain and specific exposure cultivate an environment crucial for the production of no fewer than 11 protected denominations. Here, the distinct climate fosters the curing of acclaimed meats like Capocollo di Calabria DOP and Salsiccia di Calabria DOP, alongside the cultivation of aromatic Clementine di Calabria IGP. The local terroir also contributes to the character of Calabria IGT wines. These specific geographical factors underscore why Vazzano is integral to Calabria's renowned food and wine heritage.
