Tasting Notes

This exceptional Cirò DOC showcases the authentic character of Calabria. At 14% alcohol, it delivers real concentration and power on the palate. Crafted from Gaglioppo 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards from the "Almeria" and "Marinetto" vineyards, located at 20 meters above sea level on black clay and limestone soils. Vinification: spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration on the skins for 5 days. No filtrations. The wine is aged 24 months in steel tanks. A wine capturing the sun-drenched character of Italy's southernmost mainland region.
