'A Vita, Rosato, Cirò, Calabria, Italy 2022

An uncompromising, high-integrity introduction to the compelling Cirò Rosato, this 100% Gaglioppo from clay-rich coastal vineyards is made in the historical ‘Cerasuolo’ style: there is a two-day period of skin contact, resulting in a wine of gentle tannic friction and notes of saffron, spiced orange and dried cranberry. Pleasingly rustic, this expresses the personality of Cirò Rosato as the traditional ’farmer’s wine’ in a low-intervention style.
