Dom Giuvà Du Cropio Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Gaglioppo

Popped and poured; enjoyed over several hours. The wine pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core and a brownish rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. No signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with powerful notes of desiccated and stewed cherries, leather, cocoa, teriyaki, anise, sandalwood and old damp basement. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with monumental tannin and relatively modest acid. I’m placing it at medium-. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. I don’t have a lot of experience with Gaglioppo but I can see the appeal, particularly if one wants a burly wine with relatively modest acid. Drink now.

Dusty. Crusty. Beautiful.

Love some of the wonderful exciting wines happening in Southern Italy!

Tremendous full bodied wine from Calabria. The wine takes time to breath. The nose is an unusual blend of earth, leather, cinnamon, fine port, and licorice. Excellent balance on the palate between acidity and tannins. Medium finish.
