Why I Love To Buy Wine From Eataly - Statti Gaglioppo

The 2022 Statti Gaglioppo is made from 100% Gaglioppo grapes in the Calabria IGT, which stands for Indicazione Geografica Tipica. The grapes were vinified with skin contact for seven days, then aged in stainless steel tanks for three months. Alcohol sits low, at 13% abv, and it sells for about $24.

This wine has a medium ruby color to it. The nose is full of black fruit and savory aromas. Plum, blackberry, and currant bring sweetness, which is balanced by notes of earth, tar, and pepper. The palate shows clean, fresh fruit and a brisk acidity with firm tannins. It's a great chance to add the Gaglioppo grape to your century club list.
