Cantine VAL DI NETO

From Crotone, Cantine VAL DI NETO works on two denominations that define Calabria's enological geography: Cirò DOC and Melissa DOC. The first revolves around Gaglioppo, the indigenous grape from which robust reds are born, ranging from the basic version to the superiore riserva, tracing increasing degrees of structure and aging potential. The second extends over fourteen municipalities and opens up a more varied palette, with both white and red styles. The alcohol thresholds—a minimum of 12.0% for one line, 12.5% for the other—alone speak to the solar intensity of this southern viticulture, where ripening occurs naturally without forcing. Holding these two denominations together means safeguarding both the distinctive Gaglioppo red and the more versatile expressions of Melissa, rooting production in the heritage of indigenous grape varieties rather than fleeting trends. It's a dual vocation that anchors the winery to Calabria's varietal heritage, offering two complementary and recognizable interpretations.
