The Etruscans already cultivated wine here, which is why the Greeks gave the tip of the boot the name Oinotria (wine country). Red wine is predominantly grown here (90%) due to the hot climate. The wines made from the Gaglioppo grape are remarkably elegant and have nothing of the jammy-sweet heaviness. And anyone who has ever seen the vineyards by the sea and tasted the Cirò bianco will want to return again and again.
