Ippolito 1845 "Liber Pater" Cirò DOC Rosso Classico Superiore 2022 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Liber Pater is a fine Cirò DOC Rosso, Classico and Superiore, proposed by Ippolito 1845. A wine that comes from the pure processing of Gaglioppo grapes, certainly one of the most important indigenous grape varieties of the Calabria region. Its name most probably derives from a dialect term used to indicate a closed fist. This is because its cluster is particularly compact, with the berries very close together. The grapes used for the production of this important red wine are carefully selected in the vineyard and then undergo a long maceration phase. After racking, the wine is left to mature for no less than 8 months in French oak barrels, which contribute to its noble and elegant character.

In the mouth, it proves to be a red wine with good structure and great personality. ...
