Lidia Matera is quite a character, she greets you with a big smile, a warm embrace and always very keen to pour her wine for you to taste. Her small wine farm, that she took over from her father, is based in the Valle del Crati, a small bowl shaped valley in the northern part of Calabria where summer temperatures are will peak at close to 40 degrees and the sun shines constantly. Here Lidia grows local varieties Magliocco and Canino. Her vineyard is organic and she achieves a level of ripeness which produces exceptionally rich and opulent wines. These are full bodied wines for those who like big bold flavours and deep colours.
Farming/Winemaking Practices: Organic not certified.
