Tenuta Denisi

In the heart of the Grecanica Area our wines and our extra virgin olive oil are born: fruits of an ancient land, of the sun that surrounds it and of our passion. Tradition and future meet between seas and mountains.

Who we are

We are an artisan reality rooted in the heart of the Greek-speaking area, born from the vision of Beniamino and Rosa and grown over time following the thread of love for the land and authentic traditions.

Today it is Domenico, a passionate and tireless agronomist, to carry out a project that combines sustainability and enhancement of the territory. In a place that is the guardian of ancient civilizations, he has chosen to give new voice to two historical excellences: wine and extra virgin olive oil. His gaze is turned to the future, but it has its roots in the deep bond with the territory and that unique intertwining between grape variety, climate and soil that makes every production unrepeatable.

Here we offer not only products: we offer a meeting place between taste, nature and emotion, where every sip tells a landscape.

Hotellus red wine Merlot

Merlot is among the most appreciated and cultivated red berry grapes in the world. Its berries, juicy and fragrant, contain a natural sweetness and an enveloping personality with pleasant spicy nuances.

Armàconi White Wine Chardonnay

A symbol of quality and versatility, Chardonnay is one of the most widespread white grapes in the world. From its winemaking are born elegant still wines, refined sparkling wines and even intense passiti, each with a unique character.

Extra virgin olive oil

Our production of extra virgin olive oil comes from an entirely organic cultivation, respectful of the earth, trees and natural rhythms. Olive groves are located in an uncontaminated hilly territory, where the Mediterranean climate and rich soils favor the growth of valuable cultivars.

Our company is dedicated to the cultivation of Merlot and Chardonnay vines and olive groves of various cultivars, with Sinopolese predominance, for the production of elite wines and extra virgin olive oil.

We want to bring only healthy and genuine products to each consumer’s table, looking for a balance between tradition and innovation while respecting the landscapes of which we are an integral part. We supervise all production processes, starting from cultivation to the direct sale of products, in order to guarantee their quality.

We aim for a sustainable economy by seizing and enhancing the opportunities that our territory is able to offer.

The Processing

The process of processing the grapes takes place directly in our cellar, where the raw materials are converted immediately after the harvest precisely to ensure their organoleptic and nutritional properties are unaltered.

The Result

The end result is a quality product made by the union of ancient traditions and modern instrumentation.The selection of the raw material is a guarantee of health and pleasure at the table.

No Chemistry, Only Nature

Both production and processing processes take place respecting the natural maturation times, avoiding the use of pesticides and chemical agents so as not to compromise the genuine qualities of the product itself.

The collection

The grapes are harvested by hand and gently processed with a pneumatic press. The olives are harvested with the help of a mechanical harvester and the transformation takes place on the same day.

The territory

Our estate is located in one of the most evocative points of southern Calabria, in the heart of the Grecanica Area, suspended between the breath of the sea and the grandeur of the mountain.

Behind us extends the Aspromonte National Park, while in front of us opens the large Amendolea riumara, with a gaze that embraces the Ruffo Castle, the Ionian Sea and, on clear days, even the profile of Etna in Sicily.

The soil, rich in stones and sand, guarantees perfect natural drainage, avoiding stagnation and concentrating an extraordinary aromatic intensity in the fruits.

The rows of vines and olive trees enjoy the sunlight throughout the day, and the mild climate creates the ideal conditions for authentic and genuine production.
