Zungri

Zungri, a commune in Vibo Valentia province, lies within Calabria, a land shaped by geological events like the 1952 flood that led to the abandonment of Papaglionti hamlet. This distinctive terrain, part of the wider Monte Poro massif, contributes to the specific conditions for its acclaimed produce. Here, where 13 protected denominations converge, are the core areas for Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP, originating across just 23 municipalities, and Pecorino del Monte Poro DOP, distinct to 27 communes. The local geology and climate nurture the unique character of these prized ingredients, defining the very taste of this corner of Calabria.
