Acino

L'Acino Asor Calabria Rosato Rosé Blend 2022

I am not a rose person and this is not a classic rose
That is probably why i like it so much.
In Qld this could only be sold as chilled red, but it is instead an unfiltered, unclarified magliocco in a traditional rose version.
It fits in the cerasuolo(Valentini) category and it sits in it very comfortably
It has been in bottle 4 years already and it will get even better than this
What struck me the most when i tasted it at the cellar it was its mineral personality and then i drank it over 3 days with no signs of getting worse.
It is very complex, but also very easy drinking
I admit i had overlooked this wine when it was just bottled few years ago. Today you can see the full potential. Unfortunately we all know the rose market issue where all they look for are transparent French rose. I strongly recommend to look for this pretty boy which is not expansive at all but surely hard to source. About 600 bottles left(out of 2000?) and around 10euros at the cellar. Cheers!

Du Cropio (Giuseppe Ippolito)

Dom Giuvà Du Cropio Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Gaglioppo 2013

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2013 pours a deep garnet with an opaque core and a rusty brown rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and significant sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with desiccated dark fruit, salmiakki, leather, espresso, and a Maillard reaction thing. On the palate, the wine is dry it’s high tannin and medium acid at best…probably medium-. The finish is medium. Drink now. — 4 months ago

'A Vita

Rosso Classico Superiore Cirò Gaglioppo

This was a very pleasant surprise, versatile red that can probably pair well with many casual weeknight dinners. Not too fruity, not overly complex. Just overall pleasing. — 6 years ago

Sergia Arcuri

Il Marinetto Calabria Rosé Blend 2019

Electric orange, extraordinary colour. Pale saline nose. Palate is a shapeshifter, strawberry, rose petals, very floral. Finish is fabulously rustic—astringent and tannic, as if to jolt you out of a stupor. Worth seeking out. — 6 years ago
