The best wineries in Cosenza.
The Feudo dei Sanseverino is an experience that stems from a great passion for wine with the desire to enhance an ancient tradition, heir to a culture that has enriched all of Europe, and a great confidence in the potential of a territory that too often it has brought suffering and misery. "It was the Enotri, lineage that occupied the present Basilicata and Calabria regions, that created the basis of our oenology and the vines, still cultivated, (like Malvasia, Greco and Aglianico,) were imported from the Greek colonies (from VIII century BC onwards). In particular it is significant, the proverbial opulence and the culinary refinement of the Sybarite society: they drank a lot the wines of their hills as they believed to be an excellent antidote against the excessive heat. Confirms Ateneo (in his "Deipnosophiste") that the sybarite began to drink before sunset and ended after sunrise. The wines were excellent and local and while in Athens they were cut with sea water or other essences, since the Calabrian wines were quite liqueur and fragrant, the procedure provided, in in some cases, the addition of black cherry leaves or raisins to cooked wine (ie reduced by boiling). " The company, a small agricultural reality, was born in the Municipality of Saracena, a village perched on the hills of the Pollino Mountains (now a National Park), Its vineyards are located at a height between 250 and 300 meters along the slopes close to of the plain that hosted the ancient city of Sibari. The vines, all completely autochthonous, preserved intact even from a lack of development of the territory, are the gaglioppo (called by the old Aglianico and / or lacrima), the Guarnaccia, the Malvasia and the Muscat. Thanks to an agricultural work that has now disappeared, an artisanal and respectful vinification of the territory and the vines, the Saracen Muscat, the Gaglioppo and the Marianna woman are produced.
Guardian of a centuries–old tradition of the village and of my family, I, Luigi Viola, a retired elementary school teacher, always passionate about nature and agriculture, having taught for over 35 years, I decided to devote my energies full–time to recovering, enhancing and spreading a nectar, which was in danger of extinction: Moscato di Saracena.
I involved my whole family: my wife Margherita and my three children Roberto, Alessandro and Claudio, to whom I have been able to convey my passion and love for our land. I increased the production of this wine for meditation, which, when brought to the public and experts in the field, immediately had an exceptional response. What had been created almost for a bet, has become for us all a nice job and full of stimuli, which allowed us to come into contact with people, environments and situations that are extremely fascinating.
