Calabria

Calabria is not primarily known for its wines. Which should actually change soon, we think. Around the city of Cosenza, for example, innovative and passionate winemakers have come together in recent years and in 2011 self-confidently founded a consortium with the goal of nurturing the old grape varieties of the region. The Consorzio Citra is busy and invests a lot of time, energy and money in the image and also quality care of its wines. Thus, a DOC named Terre di Cosenzainiziiert, which shows wines that can be seen. The new winemakers become role models for the renewal of the wine region Calabria, it is invested in modern facilities and new cellars. But the treasure is the terroir and its ancient growths, the land that has been inhabited and cultivated since time immemorial. The Valle di Crati is impressive and lovely, the climate pleasant and made for good wines. The vineyards are located at 600 meters above sea level on sunny slopes with breathtaking views to the sea and the Sila, freshening winds and cooling nights together with sandy yet fertile soils provide perfect conditions. Mixed with a portion of courage and a pinch of will to create, this is an exciting recipe for a promising future. You don't believe us? Put it to the test and try a Magliocco, an old autochthonous variety from the Valle di Crati. The Terraccia from Serracavallo, for example, shows a round fruit taste of red berries, an impeccable structure in the background and is nevertheless drinkable and soft. It will make you want more
