Our organic grapes grow in our vineyards on the headland of Capo Spartivento which overlooks the Ionian Sea. Our production area is located in the Greek Calabria, one of the most fascinating and pristine landscapes in the Aspromonte. Located in the southern part of the Italian Peninsula, our vineyards benefit from the heat of the earth in conjunction with the Calabrian Sea breeze. Our production happens in the area of the IGT Palizzi, one of the most renowned red wines of the Calabrian wine-growing.
Our vineyards are shaped by the wisdom of generations of winemakers who, from these hills, have always cultivated the vineyards overlooking the sea.
The vineyards have an area of about 8 hectares and are located at 200-300 meters above sea level with southern exposure and are partially terraced.
The grapes varieties grown are Nerello Mascalese, Calabrese, Alicante, Syrah, Greco Bianco, Mantonico, Pecorello and Zibibbo.
The training system implemented is the spurred cordon, with regular planting spacing (0.80 x 2.25) for a density of about 4,000 โ 5,000 plants per hectare on clayey soils. The yield is 40 โ 50 quintals per hectare.
The harvest is done manually from the end of August to the end of September.
