Peppery, herbal, big. Reminds of a good non Rhône Syrah. Exiting wine. Should improve over the years. — 6 years ago

Good balanced, good aftertaste of this wine blow you away. Purple color reminds young Saperavi or liquid consistency in the glass, or gouache concentrate.
Small tannins, low acidic, becoming elder would be jam.
Grapes from Old vines and maceration applied. rye croutons, smoked salami in the nose. — 6 years ago

Rather dark pink. Herbs, red currant and some red gooseberry. Clean and good depth but lacking a bit focus. Hint of sweetnes on the end. — 7 years ago

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! — 8 years ago

Very drinkable. I spent a considerable time in Calabria near where this wine is produced. It is very typical for the region, soft but very flavorful. — 7 years ago

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. — 8 years ago

Very unique wine from Calabria, 100% Gaglioppo grapes. Medium bodied, light-red brick color. In a region composed of predominantly industrial, uninteresting wines, this producer shines with a lean, food-friendly style. — 6 years ago

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! — 9 years ago
