Calabria IGT Magliocco Rinni 2020 Cantine Viola 75 cl

Description

History

Guardian of a centuries-old tradition of the town and of his family, Luigi Viola is a retired elementary school teacher, who has always been passionate about nature and agriculture. After more than 35 years of teaching, he made the decision to devote all his energies to the recovery, enhancement and dissemination of a nectar that was in danger of disappearing: Moscato di Saracena. Involving the whole family, made up of his wife Margherita and their three sons Roberto, Alessandro and Claudio, to whom he passed on his passion and love for the land, Luigi increased the production of this meditation wine. Once presented to the public and industry experts, it achieved immediate success. Over time, Luigi has expanded the range of products, always focusing on quality, authenticity and elegance, using native vines such as Magliocco Dolce, Guarnaccia, Malvasia and Mantonico.

Tasting notes

Ruby red colour. On the spicy nose that ranges from the presence of cloves to lively black pepper, the wine subsequently reveals an aromatic bouquet in which notes of red berried fruit such as plum and cherry emerge. It is a wine with a solid structure, well balanced and with a pleasant intensity. The entry into the mouth is dry, with good sapidity and a tannic texture of medium intensity.

Possible combinations

It goes well with grilled red meats, aged cheeses and cured meats.
