‘A vita

We are in Calabria, in the historic area of ​​Cirò, on clayey and limestone hills characterized by favorable temperature ranges, in the area of ​​excellence of Calabrian wine production, where vines have been cultivated for over 2500 years. where the vine has been cultivated for over 2500 years. Eight hectares, four organically grown vineyards overlooking the shores of the Ionian Sea, between the sea and the Sila mountains. The vines grown are all native Calabrian, the best interpreters of the terroir: Gaglioppo, Magliocco Canino, Greco nero and Greco bianco.

The 40-50 year old vineyards are bred with traditional modified sapling techniques, and according to mass selection criteria. For the reproduction of an entire vineyard, mass selection is aimed at maintaining maximum genetic variability within the same vine variety. In this way plants with different physiological and productive characteristics are obtained, this on the one hand certainly involves a greater workload, but allows a balance of results and a consequent harmony in the wine. Vice versa, clonal selection returns a uniform product as the plants are identical in physiological and productive characteristics.
