The Benvenuto Winery was born from the resourcefulness of Giovanni Benvenuto, who after moving from Abruzzo to Calabria, realized his dream of creating a winery by exploiting the potential of land appreciation that belonged to his parental grandfather. The constant commitment & improvement of agronomic and oenological techniques have allowed the company to stand out for quality production that respects and reinterprets the natural & cultural characteristics of the area.
