Caposerra

The name Caposerra, Cirò D.O.C., derives from the fact that the vineyard in which its grapes grown, is located in a plot adjacent to a greenhouse – serra. In addition to the classic native vines Gaglioppo and Magliocco, here we also find a small percentage of Merlot. Good structure and balance.
