Here is an interesting red blend from Calabria that shows loads of varietal typicity. The 2011 Savuto Superiore Britto opens to rustic tones of white peppercorn, dried violets, wet earth and balsam herb. You won't find a wine like this from any other part of the world. The bouquet is savory and spicy and the mouthfeel delivers contrasting sweet against sour flavors. If you are looking for offbeat flavors from Italy's rich patrimony of indigenous grapes, this wine is for you. The blend is made of Arvino, Greco Nero, Magliocco Canino and Nerello Cappuccio. Some 40% of the wine has been aged in barrique for six months and the rest is aged in stainless steel.
