Azienda Agricola Calabrò Francesco

Azienda Agricola Calabrò Francesco navigates four protected IGT denominations in southern Calabria: Pellaro, Palizzi, Costa Viola, and Locride. This range covers vastly different situations, from narrower coastal strips to territories spread across multiple municipalities, allowing the winery to capture distinct microclimates along the tip of the peninsula. Their work centers around Nerello and indigenous white grape varieties, interpreted according to the character of each area: the mineral tension of Pellaro, the maritime influence of Costa Viola, the more decisive red expressions of Palizzi, and the concentrated potential of the passiti wines from Locride. The reds reach 13% alcohol, while the whites maintain lower alcohol levels to preserve freshness. In this fragmented geography, where the sun guides the ripening cycles, the multiplicity of denominations is not a dispersion but a method: a way to let each individual Calabrian terroir speak with its own unique voice.
