Lipuda
Wine · PGI · 8 municipalities
Established in 1999 across eight Calabrian municipalities, including Carfizzi and Crucoli, the Lipuda PGI stands out from its neighbors, the Cirò and Melissa DOCs. While those adjacent appellations rely on specific varieties like Gaglioppo and Greco, Lipuda's rules uniquely name no specific grapes, instead permitting any approved Calabrian berry. Despite its historical links to the ancient Cremisa wine of Crotone, this appellation remains a geographic curiosity with zero verified producers. For its red wines, Lipuda mandates a minimum of 11.0% alcohol and a maximum yield of 16.0 tonnes per hectare, resulting in intense red wines characterized as harmonic and complex.
