This is a ripe and chewy expression of Gaglioppo (a grape from Southern Italy) with sharp aromas of wet earth, ripe blackberry, wild mushroom and tobacco leaf. The wine offers a firm structure and enough acidity to pair with cheese dishes or béchamel sauce.

This Riserva from Calabria offers sweet aromas of Christmas spice and candied fruit backed by tobacco and tealeaf. It also offers earthy flavors of ripe fruit and prunes and ends with slightly astringent and sour tannins. Pair it with something sweet such as pasta with gorgonzola or piquant cheese.

Ripe del Falco is a successful experiment in the aging ability of Gaglioppo, a native variety of Calabria in Southern Italy. The light-bodied, crimson-colored wine shows tertiary aromas of spicy dried fruit, red licorice and wild mushroom. Not everyone will like it, but if you fancy yourself an enological archeologist, give it a try: The tannins are fine-grained and the delicate wine has aged well over the years.
