Cariglio Terre Nobili Lidia Matera, organic wine, 100% Magliocco, rare grape from Calabria, Rich, round, oozing southern intensity and sweet spice. If you going to a dinner party and you want to take a bottle that doesn’t break the bank but will have everyone raising an eyebrow when they taste it then go for Cariglio. The flavour and texture is unique. It is both modern in its full body and up front fruitiness but also traditional Italian with its high acidity and provenance, one of the old autocthonous varieties of southern Italy that nobody has heard of! Beautifully balanced for a wine of such intensity, this is for those who just can t resist big red wines and hearty steaks!

Paul –
Myself and a few friends had a meal out a Theo Randall’s at the Inter Continental and the sommelier recommended this to go with our main course and he was right it complimented the meal perfectly, so much that it is so easy to drink we had another.
I searched high and low for it but not many people stock it as its not a mass produced wine due to the grape, BV had a case so after speaking with them they were very helpful I ordered and they arrived the next day very well packaged.
We split half the bottles with our friends and cant wait to crack open the first one to experience it again (just a shame Theo cant pop round to cook instead of me having to do it!)
Enjoy
