Calabria

We talk about Calabria and think of the Cirò. Cirò's fame has ancient origins. Once the Greeks of Cirò Marina produced the famous Krimisa wine, offered to the athletes of the Olympics. All Calabrian wine production focuses on the hills that rise from the Tyrrhenian and Ionic Coasts to the Apennine reliefs of the interior. Viticulture in Calabria has remained for many years in a state of depression and lack of initiative that some DOCs are disappearing but today, thanks to the entrepreneurship of some young vintners, especially in the Cirò area, there are signs of improvement. In Cirò DOC white wines are obtained from the Greek grape and especially red wines obtained from the typical Calabrian grape variety Gaglioppo, which produces fine, elegant and structured wines, even in rosé. Gaglioppo also entered the denominations of Isola di Capo Rizzuto and Melissa. Spread throughout the region are also Magliocco, Black Greco, White Montonico, Marsigliana and White Sheep, used in the denominations Savuto, Terre di Cosenza, Scavigna In the commune of Bianco is produced a wonderful white wine passed, the Greek of Bianco DCO. Obtained from a variety of Greek grapes that are left to dry on the rocks of the Tyrrhenian sea.
