Cirò (Calabria)

Gaglioppo
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

The wine shows a beautiful and intense ruby red color with nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose has personality with clean, pleasing and elegant aromas of black cherry, blueberry jam, plum, black pepper, cardamom, chocolate and carob followed by pleasing and clean hints of eucalyptus, licorice and vanilla. In mouth reveals a good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however balanced by alcohol, intense flavors and full body. The finish is persistent with clean flavors of black cherry, blueberry and plum. A well made wine. This red Cirò ages in barrique for 12-13 months.
