Ippolito 1845 works with the native grapes of Calabria, Italy's southernmost wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on Gaglioppo, the indigenous variety that defines Cirò, and Calabrese di Montenuovo, both grapes shaped by Calabria's Mediterranean climate and mineral soils. Ripe del Falco Cirò Classico Superiore Riserva, a Gaglioppo-based wine, represents the winery's engagement with the region's classical expression. The range extends to blended work: I Mori pairs Gaglioppo with Cabernet Sauvignon, while Calabrise draws on Calabrese di Montenuovo alone. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. Calabria's position at the toe of the Italian peninsula creates distinct terroir—warm, dry conditions tempered by coastal influence—that shapes the character of its reds. Ippolito's focus on native varieties and regional typicity anchors its approach to winemaking in Southern Italy.
