Description

Magliocco Calabria IGP 2020 / Ferrocinto / Calabria

Red wine from Italy

Tenute Ferrocinto is based in the town of Castrovillari, halfway between the cities of Potenza and Cosenza in Calabria in southern Italy. The area is also called "Conca del Re" and was known as a wine-growing landscape even before the appearance of the Romans. Surrounded by the largest Italian national parks, the vines find ideal conditions here because there are large temperature differences between day and night. The work of people in the vineyard preserves the characteristics of the terroir by working in perfect harmony with nature. In doing so, they have to make a daily choice that ultimately leads to a result that represents a perfect synthesis between centuries-old tradition and new technological achievements.

The Magliocco is a red wine variety that is cultivated in the Italian region of Calabria. In the past it was cultivated very often but has been almost forgotten and only recently rediscovered. The Magliocco is a late-ripening grape variety that is sensitive to lack of water. It can be used to make tannin-rich red wines that are easy to store.

The grapes for the Magliocco Aglianico Calabria IGP from Tenute Ferrocinto are grown in the hilly area of Castrovillari in northern Calabria. Here the soils are calcareous and there is an exceptional microclimate with high temperature differences between day and night. All in all, optimal conditions for winegrowing.

The grapes are harvested by hand in the early morning hours of the third and fourth decade of October each year. A classic red wine vinification then takes place at a controlled temperature. The wine then matures in steel tanks for six to seven months. The Magliocco is rounded off by a short aging period in its bottle.

This wonderfully spicy southern Italian red wine appears in a ruby red with violet reflections. On the nose it is fruity, vinous, and delicate with hints of strawberries and sour cherries. On the palate, the Magliocco is dry, fresh, and tasty. Its tannins are pleasantly built in and therefore very elegant. A phenomenally long finish awaits at the end.

At a recommended drinking temperature of around 18 to 19°C, this discovery from southern Italy goes well with hearty pasta dishes, grilled food and mature cheese.
