In the Scala family since 1949, the domaine is now run by Luigi Scala, who leads the production of Cirò wines following family traditions. From the growing of the grapes to the refinement and aging of the wines, he favors quality over quantity and aims to produce distinguished Calabrian wines. The winery is truly a family business as his son Francisco oversees the business side of the winery. The vineyard comprises 18 hectares for an overall production of 8,000 cases. Most of the grapes are native varieties such as Gaglioppo, Magliocco, Nerello, Mantonico and Greco. They are cultivated in espalier on the hinterland plains and hills, on argillaceous and sandy soil.

Farming/Vinification: Certified Organic starting with the ‘16 vintage. Scala exclusively uses organic products, such as lupins to fertilize the vineyards; it provides the soil with nitrogen and helps eliminate weeds.
