Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore from Tenuta del Conte

The wine has a garnet color that is typical of Gaglioppo. The nose shows dark fruit aromas, dried herbs, and dried flowers, along with intense earthy notes. Tertiary aromas of mushrooms and leather are also evident and well interwoven with the dark fruit notes. On the palate, the dark fruit flavors continue; blueberries, black cherries, and blackcurrants. Smooth and silky in texture. The wine is juicy and displays elegance and good integration of all the elements.

The Cirò Rosso is abundant and dynamic, with decisive and distinctive tannins. This wine, produced from organic and natural farming practices, pairs best with red sauce, even spicy, pasta dishes, stewed or braised pork, and lightly aged pecorino (sheep) cheese.
