The best wineries in Cirò.
The SANTA VENERE agricultural–organic–tourist company covers approximately 150 hectares in the hills of the ancient land of Cir, a small town in the province of Crotone in Calabria, of ancient origins, particularly significant for its history and culture. This area, with its rolling plains toward the sea and gentle hills, is an area considered highly valuable for the cultivation of grapes and olives. The company, crossed by the Santa Venere stream, since the seventeenth century is owned by the Scala family. There, vineyards, olive groves and citrus groves stretch in a favorable position, which together with the nature of the soil, provides an optimal climate for the cultivation, practiced since 1996, with the organic system, proving a continuous and accurate optimization of products.
The company is connected to the country house where the family lives, which also includes a inn, which is about two kilometers far from the sea, with various sporting activities connected. Moreover, the breeding of "Sella Italiana" thoroughbred horses and the rearing of Charole cattle selected in purity, a breed that is particularly prized for its meat, make od this plot of land a natural paradise.

The Cir wines of the San Francesco farm present themselves today as modern wines, but to remember the wine tradition of his family, Francesco Siciliani, adopted as a logo the family noble coat of arms, consisting of a rampant lion placed on a mountain with three peaks on a blue background. After having taken the first steps in the cellar of the family, gaining a good experience in the field, Francesco Siciliani has developed its own high–tech winery.
The structure covers 2,000 square meters, of which six hundred underground that constitute the barrel cellar, has a production capacity of over one million bottles a year, and with steel silos and machinery that enable cutting–edge methods of vinification. The choice of quality control that accompanies the grapes throughout their growing cycle until bottling, has been the trump card of the San Francesco farm to give prestige to the vocation of its territory, for too long obscured by productions more attentive to quantity that to quality.
The enhancement of the grape varieties that have made the production of Cir famous since antiquity, therefore, characterizes the company’s philosophy.
From Gaglioppo, a vine grown in the hills, with the typical sapling form, they produce a classic red and a rosé Cir, obtained by detaching, immediately after crushing, the juice from the pulp and the skins of the grapes.
Only from Greco grapes, white Cir is made. "Ronco dei Quattroventi" and "Donna Madda" are the happy expression of the potential of Gaglioppo enhanced in barrique.
