Mountainous and centrally located in the Mediterranean, Calabrian wine has had a long history, affected by many influences over the centuries. Sitting at the southern tip of the "boot", the region is most well known for Ciro, said to be the oldest wine in history and one of the area's most important exports. While the vast majority of the region's wine production is red, with a large portion made from the Gaglioppo grape, it is also notable for its small selections of sweet whites.
