2021 Gianni Lonetti "Juru" Calabria IGT

This bottling is 70% Gaglioppo and 30% Magliocco, native yeast fermentation in stainless steel tanks, 3 day maceration, medium minus body, med+ acid, med+ tannin, black pepper, cherry, violet. The rosey/violet note gives the wine a refined note, but countered with the pepperiness of the Magliocco, it walks the line between rustic and elegant. Calabria like you've never tasted before, a Cittavino guarantee.

Gianni Lonetti represents the second generation of the Ciro' Revolution. When I say “generation” I don't mean a wave of people, but perhaps two or three individuals- the rest still aren't convinced that Calabria holds any happiness for them. Gianni grows Gaglioppo and Magliocco grapes, varieties native to Ciro', Calabria in the town of Melissa. He, like most other vignaioli in the area, does not own an expansive stretch of vineyards, but rather small holdings along the coast and more inland in the mountains with his grapes along the coast always being the most pump and perfect.
