Cantine Statti Gaglioppo, Calabria, Italy

Wine Description: Winemaker Lorenzo Landi and Collaborating Winemaker Nicola Colombo have made an incredible wine from 100% Gaglioppo. Cantine Statti produces some exceptional Calabria IGT wines but this one is particularly wonderful. The producer tells us a bit more about the region: Calabria is a non-industrial rural mountainous region. Its economy is dependent on cereals, citrus, and particularly olives, with a per-capita income less than half the national average. Called Enotria by the Greeks in pre-Roma times for its illustrious vinous past, today viticulture and winemaking are far from the vital industries they once were and account for a tiny proportion of land use. Variety: 100% Gaglioppo Appellation: Calabria IGT, Italy Pairs Best With: White Meat, Salami, Medium-ripe Cheeses
