Wine tasting at Cantina Rizzo in the heart of Calabria

Here is what's in store for you

Together with Francesco you'll discover the rarest wine of Calabria, experiencing it with all five senses.

When you arrive, Francesco will be there to welcome you. Together, you will visit the vineyard where he cultivates the rarest grape variety. You will admire the beautiful panorama of the "Piccole Dolomiti di Frascineto" and observe the southern slope of the mountain range in the Pollino National Park. You will have the chance to touch the vines and engage in some hands-on experiences.

The walk is suitable for everyone and not strenuous, but we still recommend wearing comfortable shoes.

Back in the cellar, Francesco will show you the place where his wines are born and mature. You will hear his story, philosophy, the production methods, and the unique winemaking techniques of their rarest wine.  He will guide you through the discovery of the three most representative wines of his winery, and the fourth one will be a surprise:

Kroi IGP

Timpa delle Fave IGP

Gëzuar IGP

Surprise wine

The wine tasting will be accompanied by local gastronomic products, including bruschette and baked goods.

To ensure you have an authentic experience to the fullest, we recommend wearing appropriate clothing for the outdoor climate in all seasons. The tasting will take place in the cellar among the wine barrels, so we cannot guarantee a comfortable environment.
