Cirò Rosso Classico

This wine is generally medium-bodied with lively acidity and moderate tannins, highlighting the naturally expressive character of Gaglioppo. It tends to show a fresh, savory style rather than heavy richness, often with subtle earthy and herbal qualities that reflect Calabria’s coastal vineyards and warm climate.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it usually presents aromas of red cherry, strawberry, and dried herbs, sometimes accompanied by light spice and earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is dry and balanced, with bright red fruit flavors, refreshing acidity, and a slightly rustic finish with gentle tannins.

Food pairings

Cirò Rosso Classico pairs well with Mediterranean cuisine, including grilled meats, tomato-based pasta dishes, roasted vegetables, and simple seafood preparations. Its acidity and savory character also complement herb-seasoned dishes and aged cheeses.
