The vineyards in the south of Italy

Calabria is essentially the toe of Italy's boot. It's essentially the mirror image of Puglia's peninsula. Because it's located further south, it can get quite warm here. However, the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas provide the vineyards with plenty of freshness. This is how the Statti winery's vision came about. They believe that good wines are made in the vineyards. By giving the grapes sufficient time and attention, they can develop perfectly, resulting in magnificent wines.
