Fortunato Ruggero

Fortunato Ruggero tends Limone di Rocca Imperiale in the dramatic hilltop municipality of Rocca Imperiale, Cosenza, where Femminello-group lemons have flourished for generations. His operation represents the sole protected origin zone for this citrus variety in Calabria, cultivating fruit whose acidity and aromatic oils define the IGP denomination. Each harvest yields lemons suited equally to liqueurs, preserved preparations, and fresh use—a versatility rooted in the terroir of Calabria's Ionian coast.
