A beautiful place where a very nice wine is produced. You can either buy in bottles or per litter. We were greeted very friendly, even though we do not speak Italian. I recommend this place.

How many white wines are recognizable at the first sip...??Benvenuto's Zibibbo is one of these....A joy, at a high level, for the palate...and a flashback to the 50-60s when I couldn't hold a bunch of grapes as a child....Congratulations Celeste.

A place that every wine and viticulture enthusiast should visit. In this cellar you will find professionalism and courtesy. The aromas of zibibbo express the terroir of the Calabrian hills and the minerality given by the proximity of the sea. Absolutely worth trying.

A wonderful place that you must visit. I have visited several wineries in Calabria and this is the best. In short, Zibibbo is a wine that you have to try and take a bottle home.

We had the nicest experience today! Even though we did not make any kind of wine tasting reservation, a very kind and sweet lady made time for us and made us feel very welcome. She spoke perfect English, offerd us to taste the wine and even gave us snacks. The Wine was quite good! But she was A+! And the super cute, cuddly dogs where a bonus!

The Welcome Winery, in the heart of Calabria, is a must for lovers of wine and Calabrian culture. This place embodies the quintessence of wine tourism, combining tradition, innovation and respect for the environment in an exceptional combination. We can't wait to relive this wine adventure. Thanks to the Welcome family for sharing with us their passion and their art in the world of wine. There have been many awards received by the Francavilla Angitola company, led by Giovanni Celeste Benvenuto, which recognizes the work and quality of a company that adds value to Calabria with its wine.
