The roots of this Calabrese are sunk in the vine of Magna Graecia

The Calabrese grape variety has its roots in the region's ancient winemaking tradition. It was one of the first Italian lands to discover the culture of the vine thanks to the Greek colonists of Magna Graecia, who founded thriving cities and brought their winemaking knowledge. Calabria was so well-suited to winemaking that the ancients called it "Enotria," the land of wine. The very name of the Calabrese grape variety testifies to the unbreakable bond with this generous and sunny land. Long a humble protagonist of peasant wine, these native vines are now being rediscovered and promoted thanks to the passion of winemakers attentive to their roots. L'Acino preserves this millennia-old legacy with a natural and joyful winemaking process.
