**Gaglioppo** is a red [wine](/source/Wine) [grape](/source/Grape) that is grown in southern [Italy](/source/Italy), primarily around [Calabria](/source/Calabria). The vine performs well in drought conditions but is susceptible to [oidium](/source/Uncinula_necator) and [peronospora](/source/Peronospora). The grape produces wine that is full-bodied, high in [alcohol](/source/Ethanol) and [tannins](/source/Tannins) with a need for considerable time in the bottle for it to soften in character. It is sometimes blended with up to 10% white wine.[1]

## Origin

Gaglioppo has previously been thought to be of [Greek](/source/Greece) origin, but recent studies using [DNA profiling](/source/DNA_profiling) instead indicate an Italian origin. The grape is believed to be an offspring of the [Calabrian wine](/source/Calabrian_wine) grape [Mantonico bianco](/source/Mantonico_bianco).[2] It was previously claimed that it was introduced to southern Italy around the same time as the [Aglianico](/source/Aglianico) vine.

An Italian study published in 2008 using DNA typing showed a close genetic relationship between [Sangiovese](/source/Sangiovese) on the one hand and ten other Italian grape varieties on the other hand, including Gaglioppo. It is therefore likely that Gaglioppo is a crossing of Sangiovese and another, so far unidentified, grape variety.[3]

## Synonyms

Gaglioppo is also known under the synonyms Aglianico di Cassano, Arvino, Gaglioppa, Gaglioppa [*sic*], Gaglioppo di Ciro, Gaglioppo nero, Gaglioppo Paesano, Gagliuoppo, Gaioppo, Galaffa, Galloffa, Galloppo, Galloppolo, Galoffa, Lacrima di Cosenza, Lacrima [*sic*], Lancianese, Latifolia, Maghioccu nero, Magliocco, Magliocco Antico, [Magliocco Dolce](/source/Magliocco_Dolce), Magliocco Tondo, Magliocolo nero, Maioppa, Mantonico nero, Montonico nero, and Uva Navarra.[4]
