A Vita Il Rosso IGP Calabria (2023) Calabria, Italy

92% Gaglioppo with 8% Magliocco from ‘A Vita in Calabria. The fruit sees only a short 36-hour maceration before spending two years in stainless steel, so the wine keeps Gaglioppo’s dusty tannin but feels brighter and less severe than you might expect. Sour cherry, dried rose, herbs and a little earth.
