Originally founded in 1949, the winery was eventually built in 2005.
The domaine is currently led by Luigi Scala, who is recognised for favouring quality over quantity in his aim to produce distinguished Calabrian wines. From the growing of the grapes to the refinement and aging of the wines, Luigi strives to follow family traditions to best express the terroir of his products.
The vineyard is comprised of 18ha, leading to an overall production of 60,000 bottles a year, all from estate fruit. Most of these grapes are native varieties, such as Grecio Bianco, Gaglioppo, Magliocco, a small amount of Nerello Mascalese, Mantonico and Greco Nero. Environmental protection is at the centre of Scala’s operations, with the winery being certified organic since 2016. In terms of the farming pro- cess, Lupins are used to fertilise the vineyards; they provide the soil with nitrogen and help eliminate weeds.
