Annibale is Le Moire's everyday red, made from Greco Nero, an old native grape of Calabria. Its vineyards sit at about 400 metres on a ridge above the Savuto river. It is not aged in small oak barrels: a fresh, fruity red for any meal.

The disciplinare, the place, the label
01
DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Calabria is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
