Cirò Rosso Gaglioppo, Santa Venere 2016

March’s wine is the 2014 Santa Venere Ciro Rosso Classico, Calabria, Italy. (£9.50 from www.thewinesociety.com).

Jancis Robinson says:

“You don’t often come across wines whose price seems genuinely incredibly low but this is one of them … Another stonkingly good value offering from this small denomination on the sole of Italy…This was the favourite of four reds I showed at the 2016 Kerrygold Ballymaloe Literary Festival, even though it was the cheapest. Masses of character and charm. Very good value.” 17/20
