Strongoli · Province of Crotone · Calabria
🏡 Tastings & visitsCirò DOCMelissa DOC
Perched above Strongoli in Crotone, La Pizzuta del Principe has committed itself to rescuing indigenous Calabrian vines from oblivion. The estate works its Gaglioppo and Greco nero organically, letting the harsh yet generous terroir speak through every bottle of Cirò and Melissa. Twenty-four months in French oak refines these wines into complex expressions—amber and spice emerging from the glass, warmth anchoring the palate. Here, the story is told by hands tending pruning shears each winter, not by hectare counts.
