Discovering the wine region of Calabria
Italy's far south between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas, a millennia-old tradition (Greek "Oenotria"). Emblematic Gaglioppo (the "black prince"): sun-drenched reds with signature notes of black cherry, candied plum, garrigue, tobacco, spice and balsamic notes, firm tannins — peaking at Ciro DOC on the Ionian coast. Also fleshy Magliocco, dense Nerello, Greco Bianco in a fresh, almondy white, ample Mantonico. Hot Mediterranean climate, volcanic and clay-sandy soils.
~11,000 ha, 70% red.
Discover the grape variety: Lambrusco
Lively, fruity lightly sparkling reds with an intense ruby robe and rosy foam, smooth tannins and a gulping palate of signature red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, cherry), violet, plum and floral notes. A festive and thirst-quenching profile available dry, off-dry and sweet. Stars of Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC, Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC and Salamino di Santa Croce DOC. Family of native Italian grapes from Emilia-Romagna.
