The wine region of Calabria, located at the southern tip of Italy, is an undiscovered treasure for wine lovers 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 boasts a diversity of soils that supports the growth of a variety of grape varieties.

The province of Ciro is particularly famous for its DOC wines, where Ciro Rosso is predominant, mainly crafted 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 renowned for their excellent value for money.
