In the hot, arid vineyards of southern Italy, the Gaglioppo grape produces intense, sweet juice that Italians use to make robust, purple-red wines with ample alcohol and tannin. A perfect accompaniment to fatty, spicy meats.
Gaglioppo is most commonly found in the southern Italian region of Calabria. Cirí is the most famous Gaglioppo wine. As the name suggests, the Gaglioppo grape likely originated in Greece. Its age is undeniable. To soften the taste, top winemakers sometimes briefly age the Gaglioppo juice in oak or blend it with other grapes, although the latter can result in the wine no longer being granted DOC status but being marketed as IGT.
We currently have one wine made from the Gaglioppo grape in our range. You can view our Gaglioppo wine here.
