Santa Venere | Calabria



The Santa Venere winery, owned by the Scala family since the 17th century, is one of the most traditional wineries in Calabria. Despite its long history, it has constantly evolved and was extensively modernized in 1990 to meet the high quality standards of modern viticulture. Today, Santa Venere is one of the medium-sized wineries in the region with an annual production of around 125,000 bottles. It is particularly noteworthy that it is one of the few certified organic wineries in Calabria that consistently focuses on sustainable cultivation and natural vinification.

Under the management of Federico Scala, the focus is on precision craftsmanship and high-quality wines that authentically reflect the terroir of Calabria. He is supported by oenologist Massimo Bartolini, whose experience and passion for indigenous grape varieties contribute to the constant improvement in quality. The result is expressive wines that reflect the originality and uniqueness of the region.

Cirò is undoubtedly the flagship of the winery and also the best-known wine in Calabria. It received official DOC recognition back in 1969 and is produced in three varieties: red, white and rosé. Particularly noteworthy is the Cirò Rosso Classico, which is made from the characterful Gaglioppo grape. With its deep structure, pleasant spiciness and elegant fruit, it is one of the most outstanding red wines in the world. - Gerardo [TS02/25]

Santa Venere | Calabria | Buy at Gerardo

The Scala family has owned the Santa Venere estate since 1600, and in 1990 they decided to bring the winery Santa Venere up to date. Thus, old vines were replaced when necessary and new vineyards were planted and the entire farm was converted to natural production. The winery was modernized and also moved to the rocky mountain. Great emphasis is placed on temperature-controlled vinification and storage. The use of ancient indigenous grape varieties reconnects with the origins of viticulture in Calabria. Santa Venere wines enjoy a good reputation, they also embody the typical characteristics of their region. Gaglioppo produces soft, balanced and full-bodied wines that are well structured and age well.

In the south of Italy thrives a prosperous agriculture. Orange groves, olive plantations and vineyards enrich the image of this peaceful region, which is predominantly dominated by mountain massifs. With its hot climate and vineyards, some of which are located at high altitudes, Calabria has excellent potential for viticulture. However, viticulture was brought to Magna Graecia (Great Greece) by the Greeks, to which Calabria also belonged. Mostly smaller producers use the potential of Calabria to produce high quality wine in manageable quantities. - Gerardo [TS07/22]
