This Calabrian wine, made exclusively from Gaglioppo grapes, is a tribute to the region's winemaking tradition. With an alcohol content that gives it a solid structure, the wine stands out for its elegant bouquet of wild cherry and plum, enriched by subtle notes of spices and vanilla. On the palate, its structure is full and soft, with finely balanced tannins offering a lingering finish. Ideal for pairing with red meats and aged cheeses, this wine is an excellent choice for those seeking an authentic oenological experience.
 
The dominant red grape variety in Calabria (the toe of Italy’s boot), Gaglioppo thrives in warm and dry climates. Some of the better examples of Gaglioppo grow in Ciro, Calabria where high altitude protects the berries from the intense hot climate of the plains.
