Tasting notes

Calìo is another sumptuous blended wine which is charged with new and long-lasting sensations. Made from Nerello Cappuccio and Nero d’Avola grapes, it is a wine/fruit par excellence. Distinguished by refinement and expressive modernity, the taste of Calìo is alive and determined, putting it in a different league, a lone voice. Suitable for Happy Hours and, served slightly chilled, it is the ideal red wine for summer.

Colour: intense deep red with extraordinary glints of brilliant violet
On the nose: a real burst of fresh and fragrant sensations, including strawberry and cherry, weaving and alternating with notes of sage, thyme, rosemary, violets, nutmeg and ink, all sharp and well-defined
On the palate: has impact because of its remarkable capacity to marry a rich and intense corpulence of fruit with an exuberant vivacity, displaying a happy disposition as a dynamic and persistent protagonist, characterised by refined and smooth tannins
Characteristics: a genuine wine-fruit, heavenly and expressive, crunchy, exceedingly pleasant to drink, imbued with a not indifferent youthful determination, vibrant and modern
Eat with: a rich wine which goes well with fish (cuts of tuna, swordfish and grilled ricciola (fish)) and meat (pork loins, T-bone steaks, spicy and smoked cold meats). Also perfect for Happy Hours and medium- matured cheeses, vegetables roasted on the barbecue and mouthfuls of sausage pizza.
