This wine is made entirely from Gaglioppo, the most important variety from the heart of the Cirò appellation. Ionian sea breezes and higher elevations cool these southern vineyards, effectively slowing the ripening process. Cirò Rosso is fermented and aged for eight months in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's fresh, youthful character.
Don't let the pale garnet color fool you: this is a substantial wine. Aromas of red fruits and spice complement undertones of cranberries, wild berries, and plums. On the palate, ripe tannins and good body make for an incredibly rich, yet easygoing red wine.

Light, tart, like sour cherries or a weak Gamay. Not unpleasant but I'm not in a hurry to find another.
