You don't see wines from Calabria or Calabria that much because the wine mainly stays in Italy and the vineyards and wineries are generally very small with sometimes only vineyards on the steep slope the size of a few football fields. Calabria has more than 2500 years of wine history. The wines of Cirò and Bianco, in the east and south of the region respectively, have been celebrated in ancient times and given to the winners of the Olympic Games. The wines of Savuto, on the west coast, have also been repeatedly praised in literature throughout history. The region is very interesting for viticulture because Calabria has mild winters with an average temperature of 10 °C; it rarely gets colder than 5°C. Especially on the coast it is hot and dry almost all year round. In the hills and mountainous parts it is significantly cooler and the necessary rain can also fall. Especially the vineyards on the coast have a good difference between the day and night due to the proximity of the sea and certainly the northern area where Ceraudo is located has the advantage that there is always wind, whereby the sirocco (hot and dry air from the Sahara) and wind from the north alternate and this has one big advantage, there are few or no fungi and organic viticulture is therefore relatively easy.
