Italy is among the oldest and most notorious wine producing nations, and Italians are known to consume more wine than any other nationality worldwide. This practice may be attributed to the high quality of the vineyards and wine produced throughout the country. 

Located at the "toe" of Italy's peninsula, the mountainous Calabria region is home to the most suitable weather to harvest strong plants that produce flavorful grapes and olives. 

The Cugini Winery lies in the middle of Calabria surrounded by beautiful vineyards and olive groves with plants that date back to the 1700's. Long considered an area staple, the Cugini Winery, owned and operated by the Reyers and Sposato families, has been bottling wine and olive oil for the surrounding villages for generations. 

Recently, the family successfully expanded their olive oil production for importing to the United States.
