A delicious red blend from Calabria made with indigenous grapes. Dried fruits, prune, fig, leather and earth. Sausage please!

Really delightful obscure grapes as all get out southern Italian wonderment. Superb blend

Oh long time no see! What a yummy wine ripe black cherry soft tannins and a kiss of cranberry lifted by a great acidity, an amazing value, Calabria nostrana!

Smooth, balanced, with lush fruit, sweet tannins. Screams for sausage and peppers!

Intense blend of rare varieties indigenous to Calabria (Gaglioppo, Aglianico, Magliocco Canino, Greco Nero and Nerello Capuccio) from the Odoardi vineyards on the hills of Savuto, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Delicious, earthy, savory and smokey, nice minerality, notes of olive (the Estate is planted with olive trees and grape vines) and leather (or salami really)

i have had a love affair with this wine for going on 10 years now thanks to a recommendation from a wine store on court street in cobble hill. its a $15 wine i keep coming back to. the unusual grape blend is immediately apparent when you taste this one (45% gaglioppo, 15% greco nero, 15% nerollo capucchio, 15% magliocco canino and 10% sangiovese) so its just a completely unique flavor profile for me. lots of black olive on the nose and black olive, tar, and prunes on the palate. goes great with garlic-y italian food.

This was such a fruity and spicy surprise. Flavors were such an interesting blend from the various grape varieties. Enhanced my sushi dinner and spiciness.

Dark fruit + leather + softish tannins + inexpensive. Nice body too.
