Cirò Rosso Classico is an iconic DOC designation from the wine region of Calabria, located in southern Italy. This designation highlights the Gaglioppo grape, known for its powerful and structured wines. The vineyards of Cirò benefit from a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers ideal for the optimal ripening of the grapes. The varied soils, including limestone and clay, add complexity and minerality to the wines.
Cirò Rosso Classico wines are characterised by their deep ruby-red colour and intense aromas of red fruits, spices, and occasionally a hint of tobacco. On the palate, they offer a perfect harmony between silky tannins and balanced acidity, making them excellent for ageing. These wines are perfect to pair with grilled meats, stews, or aged cheeses.
