In just a few short years, Domenicoantonio Silipo Jrnamed after his grandfather, a cooper who first ventured into wine productionhas transformed his winery into a symbol of Calabria's enological renaissance. Production focuses on local native grapes, predominantly magliocco and greco, varieties treated with the utmost respect. This approach results in a top-tier range of organic wines that strike a balance between honoring tradition and highlighting the unique characteristics of the territory. The main feature of this small Vibonese producer is undoubtedly the originality of the wines, which strive to find the best combinations between native grape varieties and a territory yet to be fully explored. A prime example is the Magliocco Canino A' Batia '21, distinctly close-knit and lingering on the nose, with tones of red fruit followed by refined herbaceous and varietal spicy nuances; the palate is thick and rounded, but nicely invigorated by acidity, finishing on a long, fresh note of red citrus.
