Cirò Rosato 2025 - L'Arciglione di Cataldo Calabretta

Cirò Bianco - L'Arciglione di Cataldo Calabretta

Cataldo Calabretta’s Cirò Rosato is a pure, authentic expression of the Calabrian terroir—a wine that combines freshness, a deep sense of place, and irresistible drinkability. Crafted exclusively from Gaglioppo grapes, this rosé is the work of the winemaker himself, who employs an artisanal approach that respects the raw material. Fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts, while the use of stainless steel for both vinification and aging preserves the fruit's vitality, energy, and original aromas, resulting in a wine of extraordinary elegance and balance. In the glass, it displays a beautiful, bright, luminous pink hue. The nose offers a fresh, fragrant bouquet featuring distinct notes of small red fruits—such as wild strawberry and crisp cherry—complemented by delicate floral hints and the subtle mineral nuances typical of the Gaglioppo variety. On the palate, it is dynamic, distinctly savory, and pleasantly fresh; the perfect balance between acidity and fruitiness ensures a smooth mouthfeel and a clean, long, and highly refined finish. Thanks to its natural freshness, it is an incredibly versatile food wine, best served at 10–12°C. It is the perfect companion for appetizing starters, charcuterie and soft cheese platters, seafood pasta dishes, light fish soups, and fried foods, or as a wonderful pairing for a classic Margherita pizza. Choosing Cataldo Calabretta’s Cirò Rosato means enjoying an artisanal rosé that tells the story of Calabria with grace, precision, and authenticity—a true sip of the Mediterranean macchia.

The winery: L'Arciglione di 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 .
