Vigneti Vumbaca Ciro Rosso Classico Superiore 2022 is a bold and expressive red wine crafted from 100% Gaglioppo, Calabria’s native grape variety. This wine comes from the historic Cirò appellation, known for producing robust and structured wines that reflect the warm Mediterranean climate and the region’s rich winemaking traditions.
On the nose, this Cirò Rosso reveals aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with subtle hints of dried herbs, spices, and earthy undertones. The palate is full-bodied and well-structured, with flavors of dark red fruits, a touch of leather, and savory spices, balanced by firm tannins and a lively acidity. The wine finishes long and persistent, with a hint of minerality that adds complexity.
This wine pairs wonderfully with hearty Italian dishes such as grilled meats, braised lamb, or pasta with rich tomato-based sauces. The Vumbaca family’s dedication to sustainable farming and traditional winemaking methods shines through in this vintage, making it an excellent representation of Calabria’s winemaking heritage and a perfect choice for those seeking a rustic and authentic red wine.
