Ippolito 1845 160 Anni Calabria 2022

Ippolito 1845 160 Anni Calabria is a celebration of one of Calabria’s most historic wineries, crafted to honor 160 years of tradition and dedication. Made from Gaglioppo, one of southern Italy’s most distinctive native grapes, it offers a richly rooted expression of Calabria with depth, character, and a strong sense of place.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red colour that hints at its concentration and structure. The bouquet is inviting and layered, with notes of undergrowth, violets, raisins, and sweet spice, all wrapped in a warm, Mediterranean feel. On the palate, it is rounded and generous, with a firm backbone that supports its ripe fruit and savoury complexity. The wine feels full of personality and length, and while it already offers plenty of pleasure, it should also have the structure to develop gracefully over time.

Production
This wine is made in Calabria, where the warm southern Italian climate and distinctive local terroir give Gaglioppo its signature depth and aromatic complexity. The region’s soils and sea-influenced conditions help shape a red with both ripeness and freshness, allowing the grape to express its traditional character. The description provided does not include detailed information on harvesting or vinification, so those elements are not specified here.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that pairs especially well with roasted meats, grilled lamb, game, aged cheeses, and hearty Mediterranean dishes. Serve it slightly below room temperature, ideally around 16-18°C, and decanting for 30-60 minutes is recommended to help it open up and show its full aromatic range.

The estate has played an important role in preserving and elevating the region’s native grape varieties, especially Gaglioppo.
