From the hills around Cariati on Calabria’s Ionian side, iGreco celebrates a family’s connection to southern Italy. Seven siblings carry forward an agricultural heritage in which olive growing and wine belong to the same landscape. Their identity is captured in the winery’s emblem: seven rings surrounding a central sun, with the spacing reflecting the siblings’ different ages. Local varieties are an important part of the collection, particularly Gaglioppo and Greco Bianco, alongside wines that explore Calabria through different blends and styles.
One of iGreco’s most intriguing directions is its traditional-method sparkling wine, bringing native Calabrian grapes into a category more often associated with northern Italy. Gaglioppo appears in rosé sparkling wine, while Greco Bianco offers a distinctive white expression. The wider range makes the estate an accessible introduction to a region that still feels underexplored. Its appeal lies in the combination of family identity, agricultural roots and a willingness to present Calabria in unexpected ways. For curious wine lovers, these are bottles that make southern Italy’s diversity feel immediate, personal and worth exploring.
