About the Winery
We are a young company born from the passion of two brothers for agriculture and viticulture. We started in 2003 with the recovery of abandoned terraces in Granaro di Ceramida, a small hamlet of Bagnara Calabra (RC) overlooking the splendid Costa Viola. We have started a project for the production of wines from native vines: Zibibbo and Calabrese Nero in particular. Recently we have experimented with some international varieties: Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to our children, family members, and many childhood friends who have become involved in the project, they too are in love with this land.
The vinification cellar is located in a small room in the old village of Ceramida, where the equipment for vinification has been placed, which is done with traditional and artisanal techniques.
We do not use barrels or barriques for aging, but everything is done in steel vats.

Consiglio vivamente di provare questa esperienza

Incroyable
Leur ambition ? Préserver les traditions ancestrales de la vigne, honorer les gestes d’hier, tout en ouvrant la porte au monde moderne. Un subtil équilibre qui, contre toute attente, fonctionne à merveille.
Parfois, l’élan les emporte plus loin encore. Pris d’audace, ils se lancent dans une véritable gymnastique viticole, plantant des vignes sur des pentes abruptes, défiant les montagnes par curiosité, par passion, par défi… ou peut-être simplement pour laisser un peu plus d’espace à la nature. Qui pourrait le dire ? Eux-mêmes n’en sont pas toujours certains.
Cette expérience, je vous la recommande vivement. Elle est bien plus qu’une découverte du vin : c’est une rencontre, riche en savoir, en partage, en culture, en humanité — une histoire transmise avec le cœur.
La dégustation est aussi bonne que le vin

Un'esperienza meravigliosa!
Questa per noi non è stata solo una degustazione ma un modo per entrare in contatto con la tradizione, la storia e l'amore per il territorio.
Ammirare il tramonto da lassù, dopo aver assaggiato i loro ottimi prodotti è stato unico! Ci porteremo questo pomeriggio nel cuore! Grazie!!
Nessuno: è stato tutto perfetto, di gran lunga oltre le nostre aspettative!

A Truly Memorable and Authentic Experience
We were given a guided tour of the vineyards, led with such enthusiasm and pride that it was impossible not to be inspired. Our hosts were deeply knowledgeable and passionate, eager to share the rich history and intricate craft of viticulture. Every step through the vines felt like a journey through time and tradition.
The experience was crowned by a delicious meal combined with the tasting of these unique wines, all set in breathtaking surroundings.
This is a place that offers so much more than a tasting: it offers a connection to the land, the people, and the story behind. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and truly authentic experience.
