About Winery and Wines
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.
