Rosato IGT Calabria

Italy
Calabria
2022

100% Gaglioppo from massale selection. This parcel—Vigna Fego— has clay/marl soils and is right on the Ionian Sea. Grapes are crushed/destemmed; after 12 hours maceration in stainless steel, the juice is not pressed, but drained by gravity. Aged in stainless steel and released late. Beautiful brick pink color, salty orange zest and saline notes, with some welcome light tannin. A true Mediterranean rosè. Certified Organic.

"The 2022 Rosato Ciro is more orange than pink. It entices me with a wild bouquet I could indulge in for hours. The nose mixes incense with rosemary, sage, spiced citrus rinds and dried strawberries. This blends sweet and sour on the palate, perfumed and spicy. A liquid floral concentration saturates, and suggestions of tangerine and ginger mount toward the close. The 2022 cleans up beautifully with a tart citrus concentration that puckers the cheeks. Exotic spices slowly fade. This Gaglioppo Rosato is easily one of the top Roses I've tasted this year. "
