A grape variety from Calabria

This Italian red wine is made with three grape varieties. First and foremost, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. These international all-rounders are well-known and always a great success. However, this red wine also features Gaglioppo. Even a seasoned wine drinker won't be familiar with this grape. However, in Calabria, the origin of this wine, it is a local phenomenon. Calabrian winemakers are convinced of the exceptional quality Gaglioppo can bring to their red wines.

Enjoy a red wine from Italy

What makes this red wine unique is its origin. It hails from the somewhat unknown Calabria. However, what's unknown is unloved. This region exudes Italy. It's picturesque and authentic. Calabria has a dubious reputation among many Dutch people, partly due to the mafia that ruled the region for decades. Fortunately, the tide has turned, and delicious wines are now being made here, including this Statti I Gelsi Rosso Calabria. The wine is friendly and approachable, with plenty of fruit notes such as cherries and plums. Ideal with a pasta dish or a rich risotto.
