Limone di Rocca Imperiale
Food · PGI · 1 municipality
Cultivated in Calabria, the Limone di Rocca Imperiale IGP is defined by an exceptionally narrow geographic scope that sets it apart from other Italian citrus denominations. While neighboring lemon designations span vast regional territories, this specific IGP is restricted exclusively to one single municipality: Rocca Imperiale. Officially recognized in 2010, the agricultural footprint remains highly concentrated, managed today by exactly 93 verified producers. Under the oversight of the Consorzio di Tutela del Limone di Rocca Imperiale IGP, this strict single-town limit preserves a highly localized terroir, preventing any expansion beyond this solitary coastal municipality.
