Cutro

Rising from the Ionian-facing hills of the Crotone province in southern Calabria, Cutro's sun-baked clay soils shape a distinct agricultural landscape. Here, 3 verified local producers harness this coastal microclimate to craft celebrated wines and foods. While 15 protected denominations overlap this municipal territory, the crown jewel is the S. Anna di Isola Capo Rizzuto DOC, an ultra-local wine appellation limited to just three municipalities. The intense sea breezes and dry summer heat define this unique terroir, producing robust grapes that represent the true essence of Calabrian coastal viticulture.
