'A VITA

'A Vita winery, based in Cirò Marina on Ionian coast, has become an undisputed reference point in Calabria for the sustainable and artisanal winemaking. In this wine-growing area between sea and mountain, with a view of the Ionian Sea and with the protection of the Sila Mountains behind it, quality wine-growing is increasingly growing. 'A Vita together with the others Cirò Boys - such as Sergio Arcuri and Cataldo Calabretta - has only one goal: to enhance and disseminate the potential of its territory, in the name of ‘Cirò Revolution’.

The souls of 'A Vita winery are Laura and Francesco, a couple linked by their love for Calabria, a land they are committed to safeguarding from a respectful and light agricultural approach. She is a cultural worker, and he is an architect, they both decided to change their lives and invest in this land, starting to produce quality wine from 8 hectares of vines. In Cirò, the most traditional indigenous grape is the Gaglioppo which is also the star of their bulk wine, together with a small percentage of Greco Bianco, the reference white variety in the area.

'A Vita makes wine in an authentic way, just as it has always been done: fermentations are spontaneous, there is no use of chemicals in the vineyard - where the principles of organic farming take the lead - , decantations are natural and the use of sulphites is low. All wines from the cellar are made according to these dictates, even the bulk! ‘Sangue Misto’ is a compendium of a year's work and is nothing more than the blending of wines left over from the racking and pressing of whites and rosés.
