Vigneti Vumbaca Ciro Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva 2020 is an impressive, age-worthy red wine made from 100% Gaglioppo, Calabria’s signature grape. Sourced from the historic Cirò appellation, this Riserva benefits from extended aging, which adds depth and complexity to its already bold character. The Mediterranean climate and the region’s clay and limestone soils impart a distinctive richness and structure to this wine.
On the nose, the wine offers an enticing bouquet of dark cherry, black plum, and dried fig, layered with earthy aromas of leather, tobacco, and herbs. The palate is robust, with flavors of ripe black fruits, balsamic notes, and a hint of spice, all framed by firm tannins and a well-integrated acidity. The extended aging enhances the wine’s complexity, giving it a refined structure and a long, satisfying finish.
This Riserva pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses, or can be enjoyed on its own as a meditative wine. The Vigneti Vumbaca family’s commitment to traditional winemaking techniques, including sustainable farming practices and minimal intervention, is reflected in the quality and authenticity of this Cirò Rosso, making it a true expression of the region’s rich winemaking history.
