Sant'Anna di Isola Capo Rizzuto DOC
A tiny DOC on a windy headland facing the Ionian Sea, with only a handful of hectares in production. The red is a pale, warm Gaglioppo-led blend with dried cherry, sun-baked herbs and a soft, slightly rustic tannin; the rosato is the more convincing wine, salmon-colored and savory. For years the appellation was effectively dormant and it remains one of the least-seen names in Italy. Marrelli is essentially the only estate bottling it.
