12/5/2023 - TannicBeast Likes this wine: 90 pointsItalian Wine Scholar Class at The Texas Wine School. 100% Gaglioppo. Med (-) ruby. Unfined & unfiltered. Med to med+ tart red cherry, cranberry, fennel, licorice, medicinal herbs & some sweet baking spices from 18 mos. in large oak casks. Dry, w/ med+ acidity, med to med+, resolved tannins & med+ alcohol (13.5%). Med to med+ body, flavor intensity & length. A very nicely balanced wine, somewhat reminiscent of a quality Sangiovese, to which it is related. Drinking well now, with the potential to last several more years. |

11/30/2023 - thesternowl wrote: 91 pointsPopped and poured; enjoyed over several hours. The wine pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core and a brownish rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. No signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with powerful notes of desiccated and stewed cherries, leather, cocoa, teriyaki, anise, sandalwood and old damp basement. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with monumental tannin and relatively modest acid. I’m placing it at medium-. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. I don’t have a lot of experience with Gaglioppo but I can see the appeal, particularly if one wants a burly wine with relatively modest acid. Drink now. |

10/11/2023 - Old Hoe Likes this wine: 95 pointsWow, value wine from southern Italy that drinks well by itself and can't wait to try with the Tagliatelle. The Gaglioppo Grape is a new discovery for me but I will be back |

10/12/2022 - talbot61 Likes this wine: 89 pointsI'm still not sure I know what Gaglioppo tastes like, unless it is contributing the slightly pruney note to this wine. Whatever the grapes, this is a nicely structured easy-drinking Italian red, more acidic than tannic. At $22, this is a good value, one of many high-quality Italian reds at that price point. |

5/10/2022 - Saxman1984 wrote: NRA blend of Gaglioppo, Malvasia Nera, and Greco Nero, with the majority composed of gaglioppo. The wine reminds me of a hybrid of Grenache and Zinfandel with an Italian attitude. Plum, floral, and smokey notes on the nose. The palate is all red fruits, a bit of tannic bite, and appropriate acidity. It is not a flabby wine, quite enjoyable with a grilled steak for dinner |

4/5/2022 - jreis Likes this wine: NRPopped and poured at cellar temp. Bright purplish red color, looks like a young wine.Somewhat muted nose with a bit of oregano, iron and black pepper. Really interesting, funky palate - bright, sweet cherry fruit combined with a very dry, dusty tannic structure. Should be fighting each other, but they actually combine pretty well. No idea what aging would do with this wine, but my sense is this would best be consumed young. |

After Sicily, we jumped back to the mainland -- Calabria to be precise -- and encountered a varietal that we had not tasted on this tour or any before it. |

4/5/2020 - wayfarer Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery good. Some age seems to have helped this, and overall concur with Short & Confused notes, and nothing rough or coarse about it (from BVAL)--just the opposite--it's well balanced and moderate full/long, great with food. |

1/14/2019 - wineshlub wrote: 93 pointsPopped and poured. Focused red fruit aroma. Rich flavors dominated by plum, with notes of coffee, earth. A bit of licorice in the grippy finish. Full bodied, rich, complex, held together by a solid backbone. Still quite young, good aging potential. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

12/27/2015 - James Kim wrote: 87 pointsMade from Gaglioppo grape, organic vineyard, stainless steel fermentation and aged in large botti. Decanted for 1 hr. From memory..more blue/black fruit flavors with just enough acids to uplift the wine, some herbs, and nice tannins for grip. Smooth texture and a vanilla flavor that made me think of new oak. Lacked the liveliness and personality that I look for in my wines. Perhaps overshadowed by acids in red pasta sauce. Not feeling it on this wine. |

7/5/2017 - Ringophile7 Likes this wine: 89 pointsWhile this wine requires some time to open, it is elegant with an almost tawny color and a sweet bouquet redolent of honeysuckle and butterscotch. It has a silky quality on the palate, with red and black fruit, not overstated, and a seductive smoothness. Very nice. |

2/2/2017 - Eric Guido Likes this wine: 91 pointsThe nose was intense, sweet and spicy, with candied cherry, exotic spices and sweet herbs. On the palate, I found zesty acidity giving way to minerals, blackberry, tart cherry, and citrus peel. It finished tart, zesty and mouthwatering, yet with saturating cherry fruits. |

1/19/2017 - short and confused wrote: 91 pointsThis wine is gorgeous and a great value ($18) As BVal says, there is chunky black fruit, tobacco, black pepper and a floral note. There are the dark fruits on the palate but I would also add that there is some salinity that streamlines things a bit. This was my last of 2 and I am bummed to see it go. I'll buy it if I see it again. |

7/8/2016 - Neurowine1 wrote: 89 pointsThis is really nice. The last bottle was slightly off but this is spot on. It is very old world, mineral laden, chalky, and spicy. Really lovely acid balance here. Love the rusticity and the roasted spicy mouth feel. Don't think this could be from anywhere but Southern Italy. |

6/24/2016 - BVal wrote: 86 pointsColor: dark ruby core -> deep/dark ruby rim. Chunky nose of black fruits, tobacco, black pepper and a little floral perfume adding a touch of elegance. Chunky, foursquare palate of dark fruit and blackberries. Tannic, a little rough and coarse with a touch of bitters on the finish, this could use some big, flavorful foods to tame it a bit. I'd also say it probably could benefit from a year or two of sleep. Think I'll have the next bottle in 2018 with red sauce. |

10/6/2015 - mike l. Likes this wine: 90 pointspretty one note but what a great note it is. this is still showing young because the tannins are medium intensity and have a sugariness ive only experienced in the more serious Paso wines. I would revisit this and love to try a bottle with ten more years age. |

9/6/2015 - juffer Likes this wine: 89 pointsWent well with tomato and ricotta on cavatelli. May have also come settled down a bit since last tasting. Dark cherry and herbal nose. Rich mouth feel. I recall that when paired with red meat, the finish comes across as a bit too ripe and even candied. But with tomato and ricotta the finish did well. |
