Caparra & Siciliani
Solagi Cirò Rosso Classico Gaglioppo
Cirò, Crotone, Calabria, Italy
100% gaglioppo, ie another grape we really ought to have in California. It's very like Etna Rosso, except that the tannins aren't quite as stiff and it mostly lacks the balsamic and coniferous aromas.

Spicy and earthy. From Calabria, which is where my grandmother is from! Drank a bottle at Al di La with my parents and Jonnie
