Calabria Wine:
Two grape varieties of Greek origin dominate
- Gaglioppo in red wines, Greco in white wine - though the types of wine they make
can vary markedly from one place to another.
Modern Oenotria's best-known wine is Ciro`, which grows in low hills along the
Ionian coast between the ancient Greek cities of Sybaris and Kroton (Sibari and
Crotone today). Local legend has it that Ciro` descended directly from Krimisa,
the wine Calabrian athletes drank to celebrate victories in an early Olympiad.
