- Winemaking in Calabria has ancient origins, with evidence of viticulture dating back to the Greek colonization of the region around 800 BC. The Greeks introduced grape varieties and winemaking techniques that continue to influence Calabrian wine production today.
Calabria is home to several indigenous grape varieties, including Gaglioppo, Magliocco, Greco Bianco, and Mantonico. These unique grapes thrive in the region’s diverse terroirs, producing wines with distinctive flavors and characteristics.
Calabria produces a diverse range of wines, including reds, whites, rosés, and sweet wines. Some notable wine appellations include Cirò DOC for red wines made from Gaglioppo grapes, and Greco di Bianco DOC for sweet white wines made from Greco Bianco grapes.

Much of Calabria’s vineyard land is situated on steep hillsides and terraced slopes, where vines are planted at varying altitudes to capture the nuances of the terroir. The mountainous terrain provides excellent drainage and sun exposure, contributing to the quality of the grapes.
Calabria enjoys a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters, ideal for grape cultivation. The coastal breezes help moderate temperatures, while higher elevations provide cooler conditions, allowing for the cultivation of a wide range of grape varieties.
