Viticulture in Calabria arises even before the Greek colonization. In the eight century BC, with the arrival of the Greeks, the techniques were modernized and refined. Not by chance, the region was called Enotria, linked to the word "wine" (oinos). Many towns in Calabria became very important points of trade of wines and the fields cultived with vineyards became a considerable investment.
Calabria, therefore, is a land where the culture of Italian vine blends with the Hellenic one with harmony and balance.
The importance of the vineyards in the area is also demonstrated by the Krimisa wine, produced in the past where today Cir is made: it was the drink offered to the winners of the Olympics.
The most suited areas for the cultivation of vines are those close to the coast. At the Ionian Sea: Cir, Melissa, Sant'Anna and Bianco with his Greco, from which we obtain an interesting raisin wine. On the Tyrrhenian coast, instead, we find Lamezia, Savuto, Scavigna and Verbicaro. The grapes vinified in Calabria today are Magliocco and Gaglioppo from red grape varieties, and Greco Bianco and Mantonico Bianco from white grape varieties. Moreover, interesting is the combination of denominations with typically Sicilian grapes, such as Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. We can really consider these two varieties as the most important wine-making rediscovery of the last two decades, along with Aglianico di Taurasi.
Despite the rugged mountainous territory of Calabria, that does not allow a thriving cultivation of vineyards, white wine varieties and peculiarities do not lack. The undisputed king of this category is Cir Bianco, to which the DOC is recognized. Other interesting white wines are Greco Bianco,...
A great red wine of quality that characterizes and makes Calabria famous, the Cir red DOC wine. From the Tyrrhenian coast, you can find also Lamezia and Val di Neto, that have always accompanied the culture and the traditions of the territory.

The most famous rosé wine of Calabria is without any doubt Cir rosé, obtained from the grapes of the Gaglioppo vine, that represents the majority of Calabria's vineyards.
