Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore 2019 - Cataldo Calabretta

Ciro Rosso Classico Superiore - Cataldo Calabretta

Product Gaglioppo grapes from hillside vineyards planted as trees on clay-limestone soils. The grapes were harvested by hand in the third week of October, fermentation and maceration for two weeks and subsequent aging of 10 months in cement tanks. Ruby red with intriguing nose of red berries and spices. In the mouth warm, enveloping, slightly tannic with a long finish.

Service

We taste the Ciro at a temperature of 14/16 ° in tulip glass. The Ciro is to be drunk immediately, but if left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

Wine that goes well with pasta and meat, try it with a plate of fileja sauce with chickpeas.

Cellar: Cataldo Calabretta

Cataldo is the fourth generation of a family of winemakers. After a degree in Enology and Viticulture at the Faculty of Agriculture of Milan he has worked in various wineries. Seven years ago, together with her sisters, she decided to renovate the old family cellar and add a new page to our history. For over 10 years the company is run according to the dictates of organic farming, an ethical choice, which from year to year is bearing fruit: has renewed the vineyards, continuing to cultivate the vine Gaglioppo on hilly land located in the heart of "DOC Cyrus'". Do not use selected yeasts or activators of fermentation of any kind; seeking to minimize the use of sulfur dioxide, static cold tartaric stabilization and filtration before bottling. In the winery he has recovered the old concrete tanks, among the most suitable for the refining and the Cirò wine maturation. To complete the range of wines produced by Cataldo: Rosato produced with Gaglioppo, Cirò Bianco based Greek Bianco, Rosato from Alicante grapes, White Wine made from grapes Ansonica to close with a delicious wine Passito of Malvasia grapes.
