Ippolito 1845 Cirò Colli del Mancuso Riserva 2019

A single vineyard wine from Gaglioppo, the most ancient and noble grape variety of Calabria, cultivated in the Mancuso estate, in the heart of the Cirò area. It is a riot of scents that explodes between cherry, blackberries, and ripe fruit, followed by blue and purple flowers. The same that leave space to a soft and enveloping sip, with a dense but perfectly integrated tannic texture, in a taste of absolute flavor persistence. Ippolito is a winery with over 170 years of history that, since 1845, has always been managed by the same family. Drink from now until 2028. 1st place winner at the Sud Top Wine 2022 competition.
