Wines of Calabria | Gaglioppo, Cirò & Southern Italian Grapes

The manifesto

Vinum, Terra, Identitas

Vinum

The wine

Gaglioppo, Magliocco and Greco Bianco tell the story of a winemaking tradition rooted in Magna Graecia, when Greek settlers named this land Enotria, the land of wine.

Terra

The territory

Two seas, the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian, frame hills and plateaus where Cirò DOC and Terre di Cosenza express a sun-drenched, Mediterranean character.

Identitas

The identity

One of Italy's oldest winemaking traditions, today renewed by producers who combine rigor with respect for native grape varieties unique in the world.

Calabria's wine story

A land between two seas, guardian of ancient vines.

Calabria is one of the oldest cradles of Italian winemaking: it was here that the Greeks planted the first vines of Enotria, the land of wine, over 2,700 years ago.

Gaglioppo, the region's flagship variety, finds its finest expression in Cirò DOC: an intense, savory red capable of long aging.

Alongside it, Magliocco and Greco Bianco complete a unique ampelographic landscape, grown between the Ionian hills and the slopes of the Pollino massif.
