Cirò DOCMelissa DOC
Tenuta Santoro commands the volcanic slopes of Cirò in Calabria's Crotone province, where Gaglioppo grapes absorb the Mediterranean sun to produce DOC wines of distinctive mineral character. The estate works within the strict varietal framework of Cirò DOC—red wines that rise to superiore status at minimum 12% alcohol—drawing on the region's most acclaimed indigenous grape. Complementing this focus, Santoro also cultivates Melissa DOC whites and reds across fourteen municipalities, blending Greco nero and Trebbiano toscano into complex expressions of southern terroir.
