Description:
Named after a Roman centurion who lived in our land in the second century AD, and who was the first to write about our wine-making traditions. Produced using Magliocco Dolce grapes, a variety that grows throughout the Calabrian region, this red with a big personality and a good structure represents local wine-making at its best.
Made with native grape Magliocco, this structured wine conveys aromas of scorched earth, spiced plum and vanilla. On the palate, touches of white pepper, tobacco, toast and licorice accent the core of juicy black cherry, while racy acidity and assertive tannins provide the framework. The finish lingers, closing on a coffee note.
