The winery
Caparra & Siciliani is a family winery in Cirò, Calabria, rooted in a winemaking tradition dating to 1908, when brothers Francesco and Salvatore Caparra brought their wine to the Rome Exposition and returned with a Silver Medal. In 1963, the Caparra and Siciliani families - united by friendship formed during their university years - merged their vineyards and expertise into a single estate. The winery is built around the two historic native varieties that define Cirò: Gaglioppo for the reds and rosés, and Greco Bianco for the whites.

Description
Gaglioppo and Greco Nero Calabria IGT from red clay hillside soils overlooking the Ionian coast in the Cirò territory. Fermentation in concrete vats at controlled temperature, extended but delicate maceration, free-run juice aged in small oak casks to soften tannins and develop complexity, final harmonisation in concrete before bottling. Dense garnet with orange hints; subtle and elegant nose of raspberry and small red fruit. Enveloping and smooth on the palate with refined, well-integrated tann…
Region
Calabria
A wild, sun-baked peninsula at the toe of Italy's boot, where rugged mountains, poor soils and extreme diurnal shifts force vines to produce grapes of intense concentration and character. Gaglioppo — the backbone of Cirò, one of Italy's oldest appellations — yields structured, earthy reds with a distinctive rustic elegance; Greco Bianco in Bianco di Gerace produces one of Italy's most extraordinary dessert wines. For HoReCa buyers, Calabria is a genuine discovery region — low production volumes, strong typicity and a compelling underdog narrative that resonates with guests and sommeliers alike.
