About Winery and Wines

The company is located in Castrovillari (CS) in Calabria, Southern Italy. Starting from the very first plants in 2006, today it owns 20 hectares of organically cultivated vineyards and 5 hectares of olive groves. The winery has been operating since 2013, when the first 14,000 bottles of Magliocco (red wine) were produced, without any external intervention, to ensure maximum recognition of the territory and its vines (terroir). Our first autochthonous white wine, the Greco Bianco, was born in 2014. In the 2016 harvest, we vinified our first rosé wine from Aglianico grapes. Today the winery is driven with passion and enthusiasm by the young winemaker Valerio Cipolla. .

The company has decided to concentrate on typical Calabrian wines such as Magliocco and Greco Bianco. The Magliocco was the first wine to be awarded in the 2019 edition of the guide Vini Buoni d'Italia (‘’good wines from Italy’’). In January 2019, the company will start selling the new Montonico white wine. These wines have already been mentioned by other guides such as Bibenda, Vitae and Vini Buoni d'Italia, with flattering reviews. The spurred cordon system is the most widely used vine training method. It is carried out with the short pruning (with 2 buds) of a variable number of renewal spurs (about 4-5 spurs). The quality of the grapes starts in the vineyard, with an accurate manual work that consists in dry pruning, choosing the mostsuitable bud, removing superfluous leaves and thinning out bunches in order to select the best fruit and to produce the best wine. Manual harvesting makes it possible to carry out a first selection of the best bunches, whereas during the destemming process grapes are selected manually on special tables,to make sure that only perfectly healthy and intact grapes are sent to the cellar. All agronomic operations aim to adequately safeguard the environment and its fauna.
