ripe del falco is a successful experiment in the aging ability of gaglioppo, a native variety of calabria in southern italy. the light-bodied, crimson-colored wine shows tertiary aromas of spicy dried fruit, red licorice and wild mushroom. not everyone will like it, but if you fancy yourself an enological archeologist, give it a try: the tannins are fine-grained and the delicate wine has aged well over the years.
