Description
What type of wine it is
I Mori by Ippolito 1845 is a still red wine born in Calabria. It is an expression linked to the local Indicazione Geografica Tipica (Typical Geographical Indication), obtained from a blend of Gaglioppo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This wine presents a great structure and a powerful character, accompanied by refined tannins and an aromatic profile that recalls ripe red fruits, enriched by balsamic notes and vanilla. The processing, which moves from steel to wood, gives the final product an elegant, warm and soft balance.
Where it comes from
The product comes directly from the Calabria region, with grapes grown in the specific area of Cirò Marina. This coastal area encompasses the deep roots of the local agricultural territory, enhanced by the proud Indicazione Geografica Tipica. The winery keeps alive a historical heritage closely linked to the estate's founding year. In this context, the peculiarities of the Calabrian land foster a perfect synergy between local and international grape varieties, delivering a powerful and authentic character.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a manual harvest carried out around the middle of October. Subsequently, the grapes undergo traditional vinification characterised by long maceration inside temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The maturation phase is completed with a twelve-month ageing period in small French oak barrels, a fundamental technical step to provide balance and complexity to the final liquid before commercialisation.
History and curious facts
The I Mori wine embodies the historical legacy of the Ippolito 1845 winery, a name that pays homage to the founding year of the estate located in Cirò Marina. This fascinating agricultural enterprise, officially known as Cantine Vincenzo Ippolito, links the product to the deep roots of the Calabrian territory. A distinctive feature of this label is its bold blend, which merges the traditional Gaglioppo with the international Cabernet Sauvignon, appreciated by consumers for its powerful character. The authenticity of the project is guaranteed by its proud Typical Geographical Indication status.
