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. — 9 years ago
Loved this! Had it for the first time at Hotel Tirreno in Calabria. Was a great experience to have an excellent local wine in Italy! — 10 years ago
Un po' troppo giovane e alcolico,ma di grandi prospettive. All'inizio molto chiuso,poi esce la frutta rossa,molto persistente all'assaggio — 11 years ago
New Calabrian producer! Very Nebbiolo like. Great dusty tannin on finish. Impressive for Southern Italy. — 11 years ago

Dryyy. From enoteca wine club — 12 years ago
French oak. Smells like my grandma's toaster and she stuck a mixed berry Jane in and it was burnt. High acid, medium heavy body, bold oak that still gives you that kinda low sugar berry pie that's been in the oven for a bit longer than needed with muted fruit and a meatier kinda body. Fun wine. But get it with some food. — 9 years ago

Menthol and tobacco, with some licorice on the palate. A pleasure to drink. — 9 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! — 9 years ago
