Calabria | Red Wine



Calabria, at the tip of the Italian boot, stands for picturesque towns, sandy beaches and Mediterranean but hearty cuisine. But here, in the deep south of Italy around the Calabrian capital of Catanzaro, is also one of the oldest wine-growing areas in the country. Wine has been produced here since ancient times, when the area was part of the Greek colony. The region was called Enotria, which means wine country. Most of Calabria's vineyards are located on the coast, where the climate is Mediterranean, in contrast to the inland plateau. The plateau is characterized by hot summers and cold winters with abundant rainfall.

The most cultivated grape varieties in Calabria are Gaglioppo, Magliocco and Cabernet-Sauvignon. - Gerardo [TS07/22]

"Our tastings showed once again the high quality and strong sensual stimuli that the pure Gaglioppo is capable of..." - Slow Wine
