Wines and Flavors of Locride: The Authentic Wine of Calabria
The Calabrian wine region is still a territory to discover: the Locride Wine and Flavors Route, in the Ionian Locride, holds small family-run wineries among olive trees, bergamot, and vineyards overlooking the sea. Gaglioppo and Magliocco are the main grapes, producing rustic and genuine reds, often paired with 'nduja, capocollo, and fish dishes. An authentic wine tourism experience, far from the large tourist flows. Book your winery visit in Calabria at the same price as the producer.
