(wine) Any wine made from grapes to the exclusion of all other fruits.
A dated, offensive American slang term for cheap red wine, typically low-grade Italian-style wines produced by immigrant communities in the early 20th century. 'Dago' is an ethnic slur for Italians or Southern Europeans, making this doubly loaded. Occasionally appears in period literature or film; largely obsolete and considered offensive today.
(countable) A variety of white grape grown in Portugal, especially on the island of Madeira.
(UK) A kind of sprouting broccoli.

"Calabrese" means: A kind of sprouting broccoli.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (UK) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
