  • Gaglioppo derives its name from a Greek term meaning “beautiful foot,” alluding to the grape bunches’ lush, plump appearance.

  • It stands as one of Italy’s most ancient grape varieties, with a storied lineage – believed to be a natural cross between Sangiovese and Mantonico Bianco.

  • Gaglioppo has unique reddish-orange hues, attributed to its unique anthocyanin profile.

The finest expressions of Gaglioppo reveal enchanting aromas of small red berries and hints of citrus zest, accompanied by mineral nuances and delicate underbrush notes. These characteristics often draw comparisons to a lighter, more saline Nebbiolo wine. However, when mishandled, Gaglioppo can turn astringent, losing its fruitiness entirely.
