Mastrogiurato Calabria Rosso

First dry red wine from Calabria. 70% Gaglioppo (Greek origin) 30% Greco Nero. Intriguing savoury nose, some herbal elements leading to a less full bodied wine than expected and of course excellent with pasta and wild boar. Love these hot climate Southern Italian wines like this and also Primitivo from Puglia. 2010 vintage. — 10 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Powerful and refined. A very elegant showing by Bill Harlan's son. Lots of dark fruit, velvety on the palate, with firm and integrated tannin structure. — 11 years ago

Ripe del Falco Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva Gaglioppo 2002

My first experience with Gaglioppo grapes. Awesome fruit. Mild taste. Prunes & plumes. Hints of tobacco. Off red in color; almost a brown. Well balanced. Long beautiful finish. Can't wait to explore more Calabrian wines! — 10 years ago

Solagi Cirò Rosso Classico Gaglioppo 2009

Mild and extremely pleasant to drink, yet despite being delicate it does not lack character or bold taste. This wine has a beautiful almost brown colorful it which is typical of the red grapes grown in Calabria. Truly a wonderful wine to try and enjoy with friends! — 11 years ago
