Where: Bivongi (RC), Calabria
The Cosimo Murace Farm was founded in 1998 in Bivongi, in the province of Reggio Calabria. The owner, Cosimo Murace, is an oenologist, chemical expert, and farmer, and has been producing Bivongi DOC wines by cultivating heroic vineyards using organic farming methods for a long time.
The winery is small: about 3,5 hectares divided between three properties, five labels, and approximately 9.000 bottles per year. Only native grape varieties are grown in the vineyards, such as Gaglioppo, Greco Nero, Calabrese Nero, Ansonica, Guardavalle, and Malvasia. Vineyard work focuses on prevention and biodiversity: no irrigation, no tilling to preserve nutrients, and minimal use of pesticides. The result is bold, full-bodied, and structured wines, deeply rooted in the terroir.
Valle della Saetta takes its name from the vineyards near Bivongi: it's a dry white wine, straw-yellow with golden highlights, fresh on the nose and structured on the palate, with notes of exotic fruit. It should be served chilled. In the cellar and vineyard, the winery also offers tastings, tours, and harvests for those who want to experience Bivongi DOC firsthand.
