TIMASITHEUS IGP CALABRIA RED WINE

From the vineyards of the province of Crotone, the Calabrian grandmother produces her wine and named it referring to the ancient origins of her territory.

Timasitheus, a student of Milo, was the only athlete who managed to defeat his teacher in a wrestling match. Timasitheus is a wine with an intense red colour, perfect with red meats and cheese. It goes beautifully with meat and vegetable dishes, roasts and hard and semi-hard cheeses. It is made from proprietary vineyards, located in the Cirò area. In the heart of the homeland of Gaglioppo wine. Obtained from the vinification of selected Gaglioppo grapes, mainly produced in the historic vineyards of Cirò, with a maceration of about eight days at a temperature around 20 degrees such as to allow an optimal extraction of aromas and structure, thus we obtain the red wine Timasitheus.
