Artino by Tenuta Iuzzolini is a generous Calabrian red wine with woodland berry aromas, spice and a satisfying savoury character. Blending Gaglioppo and Magliocco, it spends ten months in French oak barrels before further ageing in bottle. Pour it with a steak fresh from the pan, slow-cooked beef or a wedge of mature cheese.

What does Artino taste like?

Bright ruby red with violet highlights, Artino opens with an intense aroma of woodland berries and spice. On the palate, it feels full and warming, while a savoury edge brings another dimension to the fruit.

Despite its generous character, the wine remains balanced, with a flavour that lingers after each sip. If you enjoy reds with a substantial feel and a combination of fruit and spice, Artino is well worth exploring.

  • Colour: Vivid ruby red with subtle violet tones.
  • Aromas: Woodland berries and spice.
  • Palate: Full, warming and balanced, with a savoury character.
  • Finish: Persistent and satisfying.

Gaglioppo and Magliocco from Calabria

Artino brings together Gaglioppo and Magliocco grown in Motta, near Carfizzi in the province of Crotone. Here, the vineyards sit 200–300 metres above sea level on white clay soils.

The Mediterranean growing season combines mild winters with hot, dry summers. For anyone exploring southern Italian wines, this blend offers a chance to discover two grape varieties associated with Calabria in the same glass.

Ten months in French oak

First, the grapes undergo traditional fermentation with eight to ten days of skin contact. Gentle pressing follows, then malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel.

Artino then spends ten months in French oak barrels before completing its ageing in bottle at a controlled temperature.

What food pairs with Artino?

Red meat and aged cheeses are natural companions for Artino. For dinner inspiration, try these suggested pairings:

  • Pan-seared ribeye: Serve with sautéed mushrooms and crispy potatoes for a generous steak supper.
  • Slow-cooked beef: Try braised beef cheeks or a rich casserole with buttery mash.
  • Roast lamb: Add rosemary, garlic and roasted root vegetables for a relaxed Sunday lunch.
  • Beef ragù: Spoon over pappardelle and finish with grated Parmesan.
  • Aged cheese: Alternatively, keep supper simple with mature Cheddar, aged Pecorino, bread and a few olives.

How to serve Artino

Serve at 17–18°C in a roomy red-wine glass. If your kitchen is warm, cool the bottle briefly before opening. Then pour a little and give it time in the glass while you finish preparing dinner.

What makes Tenuta Iuzzolini Artino a distinctive Calabrian red wine?

This wine captures the region’s warm climate and ancient winemaking heritage, offering an authentic expression of southern Italy with aromatic charm and subtle rusticity.
How does Artino taste and what aromas can I expect?
Artino pours a bright ruby-red with violet highlights, leading to aromas of ripe red cherries, wild berries, and soft Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it is smooth and warm, featuring juicy fruit balanced by delicate tannins and lively natural acidity. The finish is long and savoury, with lingering notes of cherry, spice, and dried herbs.
What foods pair best with this Calabrian Gaglioppo?
This wine complements rich and savoury dishes beautifully. Try it alongside roast lamb, slow-cooked shoulder or grilled chops, hearty beef steaks or chargrilled burgers. It also pairs wonderfully with Italian classics such as tomato-based ragùs, lasagne, aubergine parmigiana, or aged cheeses like pecorino and parmesan.
Did you know why Gaglioppo is so central to Calabria's wine identity?
Gaglioppo has been cultivated in Calabria for centuries and thrives in its hot, dry summers coupled with cooling sea breezes. This grape variety brings aromatic complexity and a distinctive rustic edge, which local generations of winemakers have refined to harmonise perfectly with traditional Calabrian cuisine and flavours.
