“Dom Giuvà”, Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore

A wine produced exclusively from the Gaglioppo grape (on occasion perhaps 5% Greco Nero finds its way into the blend), the Dom Giuvà captures the power of this dark-skinned and lusty grape while maintaining a scintillating brightness that keeps the wine surprisingly fresh.  A wine of great length and persistence whose mark of distinction and class is best expressed by the hint of bitter cherry in the finish.  The tannins are forceful yet graceful with a grainy texture and lush ripeness.
