The Calabria wine region, located at the southern tip of Italy, is an undiscovered treasure for wine enthusiasts seeking new discoveries. With a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters, Calabria offers ideal conditions for viticulture. This mountainous and coastal region benefits from a diversity of soils that support the growth of a wide variety of grapevines.
Calabrian wines, often reds, are primarily crafted from the indigenous Gaglioppo grape, renowned for producing robust wines with aromas of red fruits, spices, and a firm tannic structure. The province of Ciro is particularly famous for its DOC wines, where Ciro Rosso reigns supreme, mainly made from Gaglioppo. Enthusiasts will also find promising white wines, such as those made from Greco Bianco.
Ideal for cellar managers seeking diversity, Calabrian wines are known for their excellent value for money. Steeped in history and millennia-old traditions, winemaking in Calabria offers a unique experience for connoisseurs wishing to enrich their collections and discover authentic flavours with deep roots.
