The wine region of Cirò
Calabria DOC at the foot of the Sila, one of the world's oldest named wines (ancient Krimisa offered to Olympic victors). Gaglioppo signature native red: structured and sun-drenched with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, garrigue, Mediterranean herbs, leather and spice hint, firm tannins and warm palate — garnet hue, sustained alcohol, ageworthy. Rare Greco Bianco white (citrus, flowers). Mediterranean climate, Ionian breezes.
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.
The word of the wine: Cup (size in)
Specific to the Mediterranean vineyard, this short pruning which opens the stock in the shape of a corolla offers a good resistance to violent winds but does not allow any mechanization of the vine work.
