Savuto DOC
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
A steep, terraced river valley DOC with a long history and, today, essentially one flagship estate, Odoardi. The reds combine Gaglioppo with Magliocco and Nerello and taste of blackberry, dried cherry, tobacco, earth and a peppery note, with medium-plus tannin and a warm, savory finish. Odoardi's style is riper and oakier than Cirò, closer to a southern Rhône. Plenty of the vineyard is now planted to Magliocco, the grape that's driving the Calabrian revival.
