Red Wines Calabria

Known by the Greeks as Enotria, "land of wine", a name then extended to the whole of our country, Calabria represented, at least until the nineteenth century, the most productive Italian region from the wine point of view. The destruction caused by phylloxera has prevented the cultivation of the glories of the past, so that, today, the production of wine is limited but still of great quality. Red wines dominate, produced from the most important native vine of the area: the Gaglioppo. The most prestigious of these wines is Cirò, the first red Calabrian wine to have obtained the DOC in 1969. You can find it in this section at an advantageous price.
