Scilla
Wine · PGI · 1 municipality
Established in 1999, the Scilla PGI is uniquely restricted to the single Calabrian municipality of Scilla, though vinification may expand across the Reggio Calabria province. This highly localized boundary distinguishes itself from broader regional denominations by focusing on terraced vineyards traditionally planted with Nocera, Calabrese, and Prunesta grapes. While the regulations allow a high maximum grape-to-wine yield of 80% and limit vineyard output to 10.0 tonnes per hectare, the denomination currently records zero verified producers. When bottled, these deep red wines must reach a minimum alcohol level of 12.0% volume, offering an intense, characteristic aroma and a harmonious flavor profile native to these steep coastal slopes.
