I love this bottle. This is what most Italian wine used to be about. Now you have to venture south into Calabria. Sturdy, enjoyable wine - 100% Gaglioppo - a stewed fruit/dried fruit note, ripe fruit, maybe bramble. Spicy, full on palate, long aftertaste. All for less than $20. Points for cost/benefit ratio.

For me this is Italian prune and a healthy dose of the dusty layer you wipe off on your shirt before biting in. A bit leafy too, but it's the tannic character that's the star of the show here.

Tannic, earthy, herbal, leafy vegetation, & a big rose petal note. 100% gaglioppo. Really interesting bottling. Campania brings it! #campania #gagliopppo
