Even this basic Ciró puts me in a sentimental mood, bright yet just seductive & voluptuous enough. I adore the more expensive Duca de San Felice version of Gagglioppo, and whenever anybody starts yapping about loving big, burly reds I just want to give them Librandi's Magno Megonio & watch the astonishment grow!

This wine has very racy acidity and interesting tannin structure. Reminiscent of Nebbiolo. Great value and worth a try.

A little hot. Licorice and strawberries. Lighter than I was expecting.

2015 Slightly resinous? I feel like I would like it better paired with the right food.

Mushrooms and earthy, ripe plums and red berries, cola, prune. Not a lot of acid. Could be drier for my taste.
