2022 Ciro Rosso Classico Superiore DOC

Garnet inflected ruby robe.

A heady, complex mix of forest floor, camphor, sour cherries, brandied cherries, and a hint of mushrooms on the nose.

This 100% Gaglioppo is, for us, the essence of Calabrese winemaking. Fresh but deep, complex but easy drinking, it feels like a Southern Italian answer to Pinot Noir. All Italian wines are made to go with food, and this is no exception, wonderful with anything off the grill.

Palate is a lovely mix of green and floral notes with a lingering velvety finish with accents of chocolate and licorice.

Pairs well with grilled anything.
