The extraordinary story of Senatore Vini began in the early 1900s with Giuseppe Sculco, the great-great-grandfather who started a modest cellar in "Corfù Vecchiu." Later, Francesco Senatore continued the tradition, venturing into winemaking with a passion that has spanned generations. After World War I, Antonio Senatore planted new vineyards in the 1930s, laying the foundations of today's family-run wine estate. In the 1940s, Antonio and his brother Raffaele expanded the business by building a stone cellar in “Corfù Novu,” which became the heart of Senatore Vini for nearly half a century. The family's unwavering dedication to quality winemaking is evident in how subsequent generations continued to grow the estate. Giuseppe and Franco, the next in line, inherited the vineyards and learned the art of viticulture from a young age. Raffaele and Salvatore, although becoming medical professionals, still remained deeply connected to the family roots. In a modernizing effort, they planned a new wine complex in the beautiful San Lorenzo region in Ciró Marina. The family’s new generation—Antonio, Emilio, and Vito—has now taken over, carrying the winery into the future. They blend the wisdom of their ancestors with modern techniques to ensure that Senatore Vini remains a leader in Calabrian winemaking, known for its deep connection to the land, the art of winemaking, and enduring family traditions. Today, Senatore Vini stands as a symbol of perseverance, respect for the land, and mastery of winemaking, passed down through generations, making it a legend in the history of Calabrian viticulture.

For over 30 years, Ceraudo Azienda Agricola has steadfastly committed to organic farming practices, deliberately avoiding the use of chemicals in the soil, on the plants, and during the processing of their products. This commitment has not been without its challenges. Initially, the transition to organic farming resulted in a significant reduction in production, a common hurdle faced by those choosing to forgo chemical inputs. While chemical agriculture can yield up to ten times more produce, it often depletes the soil, rendering it less viable for future cultivation. Ceraudo Azienda Agricola, however, has embraced a different path, one that prioritizes the long-term health of the land over short-term gains. The philosophy is rooted in the belief that the land is a precious resource that must be preserved with the utmost care. This approach reflects a broader respect for the environment and a commitment to sustainability. The goal is not to increase profits by boosting production quantities but to enhance the company’s reputation through the superior quality of its wines. This dedication to maintaining high standards and producing exceptional products highlights a commitment to quality over quantity, ensuring that each bottle is a true reflection of the land's potential and the principles of organic farming.

Nestled in the heart of Cirò, our vineyards stretch across the rolling hills with the Ionian Sea painting a serene backdrop. Each of our small vineyards carries its own unique name, history, and character, deeply rooted in the clay-limestone and sandy soils that define this beautiful region. We are dedicated to organic farming, a practice that honors the land's natural balance and has been passed down through generations. Our approach is driven by a love for the craft, ensuring that every bottle we produce is a reflection of our respect for nature and our commitment to quality. By rejecting pesticides and chemical fertilizers in favor of natural methods, we nurture our vineyards to yield grapes that truly embody the spirit of Cirò. For us, making wine is not just about the final product, but about creating something that brings joy and well-being to those who experience it.

Located along the stunning Ionian coast of Calabria, in the historic municipalities of Cirò and Cirò Marina, Caparra & Siciliani Winery stands as a testament to the rich viticultural heritage of the region. Nestled among ancient Alberello vineyards, centuries-old olive groves, and millennia-old ruins, the winery is deeply rooted in the history and culture of Calabria. The fertile, sun-drenched hills and plains, along with abundant water sources, have long made this area ideal for cultivating vines. Since the 19th century, the Caparra & Siciliani families have carried forward this proud tradition of winemaking. In 1963, they joined forces to create Caparra & Siciliani, combining generations of expertise to produce exceptional wines that embody the essence of Cirò’s unique terroir.

A well-known Calabrian family existing in Cirò from the dawning of the 16th century, when the great mathematician and astrologist Luigi Lilio reformed the Gregorian calendar in 1582. Many rich noble families of Cirò were born precisely in the 16th century and started setting up solid properties which became part of the history of the territory. These include the old house Iuzzolini, recognized among the leading families of the sixteenth century. One of his distant descendants Iuzzolini dates back to Luigi, who was born in 1514 while the next century sees many celebrities including the notary Juzzolini Carlo who was born in 1698. In the 18th century for the first time the letter “I” appeared in place of the archaic “J”. In the last century from the marriage between Don Fortunato Iuzzolini and Donna Vittoria Liotti, was born in 1906 Don Diego Iuzzolini, the father of Fortunato, current owner of the company. This one, together with his wife Giovanna Colicchio and sons, Diego, Pasquale, Antonio and Rosa, started in 2005 the processing of the grapes, and built a modern equipped winery, thus realizing a dream handed down over time

The cellar of Cote di Franze is headquartered in Cirò, a place where the wine is the product of centuries of excellence and it’s the passion and commitment of Francesco and Vincenzo Scilanga, that since childhood they began to learn in the family farm all the production techniques. In our company growing and love for the vineyards is an ancient tradition that has been handed down for centuries from father to son. Cultivate currently 9 ha vineyard of native varieties Gaglioppo and Greek White, 2 sapling old 9000 plants per hectare, the cultivation method is biological. “Cote di Franze” is named after the town where it is located our winery, a charming area characterized by a particular soil, consisting primarily of clay that gives our wines a unique texture and aroma. The winery was built in line with the new technologies of vinification with stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, immersed in a stunning and unspoilt landscape, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, where the gaze is lost for miles in the vineyards and a beautiful Ionian Sea is the setting for an enchanting landscape. “Cultivating grapevine with love brings greatest satisfactions” starting from this motto and animated by the desire to promote an ancient tradition have today decided to move in the direction of a present full of activities and full of new challenges without neglecting attention to the peculiarities of the territory. Propose our wine market means communicating one’s own being and an ancient culture that travels through smells, feelings and memories.

The company has its headquarters on the property of the Ranieri Family who manages it since the beginning of the last century. The land is immersed in a rich plain of vineyards and olive trees surrounded by green hills that enjoy legendary winters, mild springs and sunny summers. ù

Born in a family in which wine production is a heritage, Bernardo Romano and Piero Adamo are cousins. They transformed a passion –small scale family wine production– into a business project. It is the discovery and appreciation of calabrians autochthon vineyards, in specific Cirò DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin), with a specific research and process. From the “Vineyard”, it follows all the production phases up to the actual wine-making and finally the bottling. The main goal is to produce high quality wine, which is the expression of a terroir. The usage of high technology is however still combined with tradition. Tasting Romano & Adamo wine you can really appreciate the importance given to experimentation, but the main characteristic of the product, its typicalness, is preserved.

Brigante Vigneti e Cantina Estates are located on the hills most suited to the cultivation of vines of what was the ancient Greek colony Krimisa, the current Cirò, Crotone province, from where it is said that the wines offered as a prize to the winners of the Olympics Games in the classical age.  In this particular environment, a few kilometers from the Ionian Sea and the slopes of the Sila Mountains, characterized by a microclimate with high temperature ranges due to the sea breezes and the cool currents that descend along the valley floor, we have been growing since few generations the Calabrian most important native grapes, Gaglioppo and Greco bianco in certified organic farming, historical and cultural legacy of our ancestors. Today, to continue the family tradition, all stages of production are followed with passion and dedication by the couple Enzo Sestito and Stefania Carè. @brigante_vignetiecantina @BriganteVignetieCantina

vanilla and finally mint. The latter comes back to the taste, in the long and pleasant finish, preceded by a deep and very persistent drink, where the soft and velvety tannin is perfectly balanced in the complexity of our queen Doc label.   Curiosity: Tempo Reale immediately underlines the importance of the passage of time in the world of wine. In fact, it is with aging that a potentially important wine becomes so in reality. But the name also means something else.
