The Serracavallo estate is located in Bisignano, on hills that overlook the Crati Valley, about 35 km from Cosenza. Following years of investment and experimentation with native grape varieties, Serracavallo joined the DOP Terre di Cosenza designation with the 2012 vintage. The winery reflects a deep commitment to regional identity and the continuous pursuit of quality.

Viticulture has always been a central part of life at Tenuta Giraldi. Run by Alessandro and Pierfrancesco Giraldi, the estate draws from a rich family tradition to highlight the best of a region historically devoted to winemaking. Located in the peaceful hamlet of I Monaci in Rende, the estate lies within the DOP Terre di Cosenza "Colline del Crati."
Three native grape varieties—Magliocco, Greco Nero, and Greco Bianco—form the core of their production, complemented by international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
The winery itself, located in Don Onofrio, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including stainless steel tanks for modern vinification. Alongside this, the estate dedicates special attention to aging reserve wines in French oak barriques. Meticulous care of the vines and grapes ensures consistently high-quality wines.

Cantina Spadafora was founded in 1915 in Donnici, a small village in the hills south of Cosenza. Its founder, Ippolito Spadafora, began by selling bulk wines produced by local farmers. In 1968, his son Domenico initiated a new chapter by building a small cellar to begin processing and bottling the wines.
A major step forward came in 1991 when production was moved to Mangone, into a modern facility where tradition meets technology. Today, the winery spans 20,000 square meters—3,000 of which are covered—and is organized into distinct areas for vinification, bottling, and storage. Every detail is carefully managed to ensure quality from grape to bottle.

The dream of Terre di Balbia began in 2001, when entrepreneurs Gianni Venica and Silvio Caputo set out to make a mark on the Calabrian wine scene. Gianni, from Friuli and owner of the Venica & Venica winery, brought decades of winemaking experience. Silvio, a native Calabrian, shared the same vision.
In 2014, Giuseppe Chiappetta, an engineer from Cosenza, acquired the winery along with his brother Nicola and his sons Marco and Luca. Since then, the family has guided the estate with a renewed focus on quality and regional expression.

Tenuta Ferrocinto has seen significant commercial growth in recent years, thanks to a dedicated network of professionals producing high-quality wines at an excellent value. The estate spans 130 hectares, with 50 hectares planted with both white and red grape varieties. Located in Castrovillari, in the province of Cosenza, the winery sits in a region with nearly a thousand years of agricultural and winemaking history. The estate lies in the area known as Conca del Re, within the Vigne district—names dating back to Roman times. Tenuta Ferrocinto cultivates both native and international varieties, including Magliocco Dolce, Montonico, Greco Bianco, Greco Nero, Moscato, Aglianico, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

This winery, born in the hills of Saracena—a treasure trove of winemaking tradition—reflects the dedication of Roberto and Maurizio. Their focus is on preserving native grape varieties such as Lacrima Nera, Guarnaccia, Greco Bianco, Malvasia, and Moscato, creating wines inspired by those once cherished by the ancient Sybarites of Magna Graecia. Using nearly lost agricultural techniques and closely guarded artisanal methods, the pair demonstrate deep trust in the land’s potential. Their wines embody the passion, stories, and dreams of this historic region and its enduring culture.

The La Peschiera winery is owned by the Bombini Gallo family and is ideally located in the Esaro River valley, surrounded by hills and close to both the Ionian Sea and the Pollino mountains. Today, the estate is run by Alessandro Gallo, along with his sisters Daniela and Flaviana, who together oversee all aspects of wine production.

Le Conche was born from the passion for nature and the land of Bisignano held by Antonella and Vincenzo. Located on hills 500 meters above sea level, the estate gently slopes toward the Crati River, creating ideal conditions for vineyards and other crops. Of the total 43 hectares—certified organic—5 are dedicated to vineyards. The estate primarily cultivates native varieties such as Magliocco Dolce and Mantonico Bianco, producing five premium labels under the Terre di Cosenza DOP and Calabria IGP designations. Visitors can enjoy guided estate tours and tastings directly in the vineyards as part of the “Country Wine Tasting” experience.

Magna Graecia draws inspiration from the ancient Greek principles of viticulture. Since its founding, four generations of the Granata family have preserved local winemaking traditions to craft wines that encapsulate the spirit of the land. Nestled between the Pollino and Sila national parks—where nature and culture merge—Magna Graecia follows a philosophy of deep respect for the environment, resulting in wines described as "reserves of natural emotions." The organically farmed vineyards grow on clay-rich soils and are caressed by breezes from both the sea and mountains. For the Granata family, winemaking is not only a tradition but also an act of love for their land, which continues to inspire and surprise.

Masseria Falvo produces organic wines in the heart of the Pollino region—a hidden paradise between the mountains and the sea. The winery’s 26 hectares of vineyards are located in Saracena, just 15 km from the beaches of Sibari and the peaks of the Pollino mountains. Originally established for olive oil production, the estate still dedicates 130 of its 300 hectares to olive groves. Later, 35 hectares were planted with Clementine di Calabria, a prized IGP-certified product. In 2003, the Marini family expanded into high-quality viticulture by planting 7 hectares of vines in hilly, clay-rich soils at around 500 meters above sea level and constructing a new cellar. This initiative revived a winemaking tradition that has existed in the region since antiquity, reimagined through a modern lens.

The original nucleus arose for the cultivation of olives and the production of oil and even today, of the total surface area of ​​about 300 hectares, 130 are oriented towards olive growing. Subsequently, 35 hectares were used for the production of Clementine di Calabria, a flagship product of regional agriculture, protected by the IGP community trademark.
In 2003, the Marini family once again enriched their offering by focusing on quality viticulture. 7 hectares of vineyards were planted in hilly, clayey terrain, at about 500 m above sea level, and the new cellar was built. With this activity, the Poderi Marini company rediscovers, interpreting it in a modern key, a tradition that has been present in this area since ancient times.

Rocca Brettia is a winery inspired by the history of a once-defensive hill crowned by the ancient Swabian castle of Cosenza. The estate takes its name from local cultural heritage and is located in Donnici Inferiore, near Cosenza. The vineyards stretch across a prominent hill at 500 meters above sea level, a site with ideal conditions for viticulture. The winery’s name and mission reflect a deep connection to the land and its traditions.

The story of wine at Serragiumenta began in 2004 with the planting of native vines. After years of study, barrel trials, and cellar experimentation, the estate developed its own wine line, showcasing the diversity of the region’s grape varieties. The winery operates in harmony with nature, guided by an oenologist from Mount Etna who shares the owners’ passion for tradition. While current production remains small, all vinification is done on-site using a blend of traditional harvest methods and modern technologies. With a new cellar in the works, the winery plans to increase production to over 100,000 bottles within three years.

Located in Castrovillari (CS), this winery planted its first vines in 2006 and now includes 20 hectares of vineyards and 5 hectares of centuries-old olive groves. In 2013, the estate released its first wine—Magliocco—crafted with no external interventions to preserve the authenticity of the grape and terroir. The following year saw the debut of their first white wine from Greco Bianco, and in 2016, a rosé made from Aglianico. The 2018 harvest marked the introduction of a new native white wine made from Montonico grapes, further showcasing the estate’s commitment to regional varieties and natural winemaking.

A’Vita—meaning “the vine”—is the project of Francesco Maria De Franco and Laura Violino. After two decades working in architecture between Florence and San Marino, Francesco returned to his native Cirò to embrace a life closer to nature and to revive his family's vineyards. His journey began with the 2008 vintage and a clear vision: to elevate Cirò, its wines, and especially its flagship grape, Gaglioppo.
Francesco has been a leading advocate for sustainable viticulture and the respectful treatment of the land, encouraging collaboration among local winemakers. He co-founded the Ciro' Revolution movement in 2010 alongside Sergio Arcuri and Cote di Franze, a group now composed of nine producers dedicated to honoring the integrity of Cirò’s wine tradition.

Sergio Arcuri and his brother Francesco have run the family winery since 2009, bottling their own wine for the first time. Leaving behind a secure job in the coffee industry, Sergio chose to carry on his father's legacy, renovating the winery and adopting biotic viticulture. Today, he cultivates fewer than 4 hectares of vineyards, many of which were planted mid-20th century using the alberello (bush vine) system—well-suited to the area's arid, clay-rich soils.
In the cellar, wines are made naturally, fermented spontaneously in concrete tanks with no additives. Sergio's Gaglioppo wines express the variety's delicate color, soft tannins, and subtle red fruit and floral notes. He is a key figure in the Ciro' Revolution.

The Capoano winery began in 1997, when Dr. B.R. Capoano, a surgeon, started bottling wine using traditional methods combined with modern techniques. The business took a leap forward in 2005 with the involvement of his son, Massimiliano Capoano. From an initial release of three well-received labels, the winery has grown steadily and now produces around 150,000 bottles annually for both domestic and international markets, with plans for further expansion.

The history of Brigante Vigneti e Cantine dates back to the late 19th century, when Giuseppe, the family’s patriarch, planted the first vines. After World War II, Cataldo expanded the family business, cultivating vineyards in the hills of Cirò with only a horse and plow. Today, his legacy is preserved by Enzo Sestito and Stefania Carè, who continue the work of three generations with deep respect for tradition and terroir.Armed with a plow and accompanied by a single horse, Cataldo gave life to Vigneti Brigante, located in the hills of Cirò, in the heart of ancient Calabria. Today, the heirs Enzo Sestito and Stefania Carè, carry on the work of 3 generations with care and respect for the territory.

Founded in 1974 in Cirò Marina by Cataldo Calabretta, Gaetano Cianciaruso, and Armando Susanna, Cantina Enotria was created to shorten the distance between growers and consumers by producing honest, artisanal wines. Today, the winery is run by the founders’ descendants—Saverio Calabretta and Armando Susanna (son and grandson, respectively).
Their original vision remains intact: cultivating 60 hectares across five scenic districts between the sea and the hills. Under the guidance of oenologist Tonino Guzzo, they grow both native and international varieties (Greco Bianco, Pecorello, Magliocco, Gaglioppo, and Nerello Calabrese). The winery blends traditional practices with modern technology, using steel tanks, glass-block fermenters, and oak barrels to craft expressive Cirò DOP wines.
The company's production philosophy remains the same as its origins, cultivating 60 hectares spread across five picturesque districts between the sea and the hills, producing Cirò DOP wine under the expert guidance of Tonino Guzzo.

The modern winery is equipped to produce up to 31,000 hectoliters and features 150 Allier oak barrels, seamlessly combining tradition and innovation.

Located in Cirò, Cote di Franze was founded by brothers Francesco and Vincenzo Scilanga, who learned winemaking from a young age on their family's farm. Their 9 hectares are organically cultivated, primarily with native Gaglioppo and Greco Bianco grapes. Two hectares are old alberello vineyards planted at high density—9,000 vines per hectare—on clay-rich soils that lend structure and aroma to their wines. Cote di Franze is a proud member of the Ciro' Revolution.

The Cerminara project is led by brothers Pierpaolo, Sergio, and Saverio, and is known for its precision and dedication to natural winemaking. With backgrounds in engineering and a shared love for the land, the brothers meticulously manage every phase—from vineyard to bottle—without interfering in the natural processes of wine transformation. Considered rising stars of Cirò, they are active members of the Ciro' Revolution.

Through the acquisition of new land, he added to the family’s historic two estates, ultimately reaching over 100 hectares of vineyards, olive groves, and forest.

Located in the heart of the Piana di Lamezia Terme—Calabria’s agricultural center—Azienda Agricola Statti covers 500 hectares. The estate includes a centuries-old olive grove (300 ha), vineyards (100 ha), citrus orchards (50 ha), and a dairy farm producing 5,000 liters of milk daily. As brothers Alberto and Antonio Statti say, working the land here means generating a vital, complex energy by harmoniously integrating diverse crops.
