Situated near the captivating Ionian Coast, Cantine Lavorata is a cherished family-run winery nestled in Roccella Jonica, a town on the enchanting Ionian Coast in the Province of Reggio Calabria, Italy. Embracing the essence of tradition, family and passion, the winery is dedicated to crafting exceptional local wines, born from the meticulous selection of sun-kissed grapes thriving in the ideal cultivation conditions of their native vineyards. The legacy of viticulture within the Lavorata family traces back to Luigi, who in the mid-1800s, laid the foundation for this enduring passion. His son, Domenico, fervently carried forward his father's love for winemaking. In 1958, Vincenzo, the second of twelve children, imbued each bottle with meticulous care, sharing the fruits of his labour throughout Italy. The journey of wine production flourished under Ilario, Domenico's eleventh child, as he harmoniously intertwined the values of tradition and family with innovation and globalization. In a remarkably short span, their wines captivated foreign markets, particularly in Belgium and Germany. Today, the winery is fervently nurtured by Domenico, Ilario's son, an esteemed oenologist overseeing vineyards and production, along with Adele, tending to the administrative aspects, and Domenico and Danilo, sons of Vincenzo, entrusted with managing the commercial endeavours.
