A Vita
Francesco an oenologist from the extreme south of Italy, Laura an event organiser from the north united by love for nature and art. For us, being winegrowers means managing the land responsibly, respecting biodiversity and following the natural rythms of the land. Our wine is produced by natural fermentation with local yeast and no added enzymes, natural decantation and minimal use of sulphites. Naturalness, maintaining the grape’s characterstics and the embodiment of the terroir are our main objectives. We have started, and will continue, our journey following these principles
Calabria
At the "toe" of Italy’s peninsula lies the mountainous Calabria region. Calabria’s viticulture is dominated by two grape varieties, the red Gaglioppo and the white Greco. However, wines made from these grapes of Greek origin can vary greatly in style from one vineyard to another, and many other grapes are used in smaller quantities to impart different characteristics to the wines.
Calabria is a region of contrast, from the cool Sila and Aspromonte massifs to the warmer hills of the coast there are significant variations in temperature and weather conditions, creating many different microclimates for wine production. The region’s versatility is demonstrated by Calabria’s 9 DOC and 10 IGT appellations. The best known of Calabria’s DOC wines is Cirò.
