The Savuto is a river and valley in Calabria, Southern Italy, that lies at the intersection of the provinces of Cosenza and Catanzaro. It is also the name of a DOC wine produced in the region.
The river's source is in La Sila and it empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea, at the Gulf of Saint Euphemia, after a run of 48 kilometres (30 mi).
The name originates from the Latin Sabutus,[1] and it may also correspond to the Greek Ocinaros ("that flows quickly"), on which there was located the ancient town of Temesa.
It is also the name of a small village near the river
The river is crossed by a Roman bridge along the Roman Via Popilia, the Ponte sul Savuto, or Hannibal's bridge.
