Tenuta Iuzzolini

Calabria, Italy

Located in Cirò Marina on Calabria's Ionian coast, Tenuta Iuzzolini represents regional winemaking practices. Founded in 2004 by the Iuzzolini family, the estate spans 500 hectares, with 100 under vine, 50 in olive groves, 100 arable, and the rest in pasture and woodland. It uses generational knowledge for wines from native grapes like Gaglioppo, Greco Bianco, and Magliocco, in a Mediterranean climate with hot summers, mild winters, and calcareous-clay soils. The property maintains Podolica cattle alongside viticulture. Production exceeds 2 million bottles annually of reds, whites, rosés, and sparklings, employing traditional and modern techniques with natural cultivation. Exports occur internationally. The winery includes an enoteca and museum of ancient trades, producing wines such as Madre Goccia, Lumare, and Artino where sea and land influences meet.
