Calabria At a Glance

Region Name Calabria

Calabria is a non-industrial rural mountainous region. Its economy is dependent on cereals, citrus, and particularly olives, with a per-capita income less than half the national average. Called Enotria by the Greeks in pre-Roma times for its illustrious vinous past, today viticulture and winemaking are far from the vital industries they once were and account for a tiny proportion of land use.

  • Score: 88 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast An earthy nose of leather and mushrooms is brightened by hints of cranberry and wild cherry, which come across more powerfully on the palate while maintaining the earthiness. Polished tannins and relatively low acidity allow the flavors to shine. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 88 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media A perfumed blend of violets, roses and lavender gives way to crushed blackberries as the 2021 Rosso Lamezia opens in the glass. This is round and juicy on the palate. Zesty acidity balances the ultra-ripe wild berry fruits. It cleans up nicely through the finish, gently tannic and with a bitter twang that calls the taster back to the glass. The Lamezia is a blend of 40% Gaglioppo, 40% Greco Nero and 20% Magliocco.

  • Score: 87 Vintage 2021 Wine Spectator A fresh and light-bodied, chewy red, with tobacco and bay leaf aromas acting as a fragrant thread wrapping around wild strawberry, mineral and spice notes. Gaglioppo, Greco Nero, and Magliocco. Drink now. 2,000 cases made, 200 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 86 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media A bouquet that mixes ash and crushed violet candies with plum sauce and brown spice lifts up from the 2019 Rosso. It’s velvety and weighty in feel, offering ripe black fruits and peppery herbal tones, yet it lacks dimension. Notes of tobacco and balsamic spice linger. The Lamezia Rosso is a blend of 40% Gaglioppo, 40% Greco Nero and 20% Magliocco. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2018 Wine Enthusiast This well-priced blend of Gaglioppo, Greco Nero and Magliocco is quite expressive on the nose in tones of ripe cherry and blueberry, with savory elements of mentholated herbs and black pepper spicing it up. The palate is plush and soft in delicious berry fruit, but well balanced by bright acidity and smooth tannins. A gentle cherry-skin note lends grip to the close, making this a delicious Calabrian red blend. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
