Ippolito Liber Pater Ciro Gaglioppo

2017 Vintage- Tea leaf and citrus peel notes accent the black raspberry and smoke flavors in this balanced, medium-bodied red. Lightly chewy tannins firm the finish. The authority and elegance of “Gaglioppo”, ancient and native grapes of Calabria, are harmoniously expressed in this aristocratic Ciro. Its character reminds the land’s power of origin, from which they say that Liber Pater, italic god of wine and vineyard, would have acquired the delicate fragrances used to intoxicate the parties in his honour.
