2022 Cataldo Calabretta, Ciro Rosso Classico Superiore

The 2022 Cataldo Calabretta Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore is a certified organic red wine made from 100% Gaglioppo grapes grown on 40-year-old bush-trained vines in Calabria's clay-limestone soils. Fermented with native yeasts and aged for 10 months in concrete tanks, it offers aromas of dried cherry, oregano, and leather, leading to a structured palate with notes of prunes, tobacco, and a touch of salinity. This elegant, medium-bodied wine balances rustic charm with freshness and has the potential to age gracefully for over a decade.
