LIBRANDI DUCA SAN FELICE RISERVA ROSSO 2007

LIBRANDI DUCA SAN FELICE RISERVA ROSSO 2007, DOC Ciro (Calabria, Italy); #695874; Price: $16.95; 13.5% ABV

100% Gaglioppo, the dominant red varietal of Calabria (the toe of the Italian boot).  It may surprise you because it's unlike many reds from sun-baked southern Italy.  Looks like a Pinot Noir.  Aromas of cranberry and cassis, with floral notes, dried herbs, and savoury spice.  Medium-bodied, with flavours of cranberry and red cherry and soft tannins.  I like it but I like happy surprises!
