Alceo 2022
Planted on hillsides facing the Ionian Sea, Gaglioppo is the Calabrian grape variety par excellence. Planted on clay-limestone soils, it gives the wine both structure and freshness. The Alceo cuvée is a perfect example of this typically Calabrian grape variety. A wine with a strong, elegant structure.
