Wine from Calabria

Calabria is one of Italy's most suitable regions for viticulture. Vines have been grown here for thousands of years and were already present before the Greek colonisation of southern Italy began. The region consists of a long, narrow peninsula, washed by the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and the Ionian Sea to the east. The climate is typically Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot, dry summers, always very windy and mitigated by sea breezes. The mountainous conformation of the Apennine ridge offers vast hilly and foothill areas, perfect for quality viticulture. The presence of a rich environmental biodiversity, with large areas that are still untouched and others protected by National Parks, has preserved an uncontaminated nature. Here there is an important heritage of native vines that have developed a perfect relationship with the land over the centuries. Precisely because of these special soil and climatic conditions, Calabrian wines are distinguished by their originality and ability to authentically express the characteristics of the place of production. Absolutely immune to the standardisation of globalised international taste, they represent the authentic face of the terroir.
