Galio', white wine from Gaglioppo
grapes A white wine derived from red Gaglioppo
grapes
If you are curious about the Gaglioppo
grape and its potential, this is a wine not to miss. In
1993 oenologist Roberto Linardi experimented for the first
time in Calabria the white vinification of indigenous red
grapes, creating a wine called »GaliòÀ. His success
led him to release this wine following the 1995 harvest.
Every year Linardi Casa Vinicola now selects a small amount
of quality Gaglioppo grapes from a single alberello vineyard,
that undergo a gentle pressing procedure in order to extract
the finest primary juice from the grapes. Owing to this
pursuit of quality only twenty liters of wine are derived
from each quintal of grape.
This pale straw coloured wine distills
perfectly the aromas of Gaglioppo grapes. Its bouquet is
fresh and intense. Galiò glides marvellously in the
glass and on tasting reveals itself to be full bodied, round,
and similar in many aspects to Cirò rosso. Alcohol:
12 % Serving
temperature : 12° Serving
suggestions : All types
of fish and white meat. Packaging:
6 Bordolese bottles of 750 ml.
Galiò's particular organoleptic characteristics also
means that it can enjoyed for over two years from the date
of harvest.
