"The 2021 Rosato Cirò is an alluring, translucent red with coppery-pink hues in the glass, as smoky notes of crushed rocks and chalk dust give way to minty herbs and wild strawberry. It's silky, rich and pliant, feeling more like a red than rosé. Stimulating acidity and tart cherry-berry fruits that saturate, adding cheek-puckering tension toward the close. A coating of sweet tannins linger, along with a residual bump of citrusy tension that adds contrast. The 2021 finishes long, with sweet inner violet tones that linger on and on. The 'A Vita winery is, without a doubt, masters at making Gaglioppo Rosato. What a beauty."
