Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Liber Pater – IPPOLITO 1845

IPPOLITO 1845 producer’s sheet

The authority and elegance of “Gaglioppo”, ancient and native grapes of Calabria, are harmoniously expressed in this aristocratic Cirò. Its character reminds the land’s power of origin, from which they say that Liber Pater, italic god of wine and vineyard, would have acquired the delicate fragrances used to intoxicate the parties in his honour.
