From the Grower
"Light brick red colour even in youth which is typical of this variety. It is ethereal on the nose, the fruit initially hidden but once given time to breath a range of flavours emerge including leather, liquorice and dried prunes. In the mouth, the tannin is present and well integrated and though the wine comes from a hot climate the body is not too full. With natural high acidity this is an elegant wine further enhanced by the salinity which characterises wines from the Ionic coast."

Additional Information
The Gaglioppo grape (typical only of the Cirò area) is trained using alberello(bush), is on a hill of 3 hectares of marly clay with limestone, the soil is very poor and in summer the vine suffers drought, but this is also its greatness. Aging in concrete tank, to avoid modifying its original character.
