Ciro Gaglioppo Red 2022

The Ciro Gaglioppo Red is produced in the Calabria region of southern Italy, specifically in the Ciro DOC area, known for its volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate which contribute to the wine's distinctive character.

This wine is made exclusively from the Gaglioppo grape variety, an indigenous red grape native to Calabria, prized for its robust tannins and aromatic complexity.

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation at regulated temperatures to preserve the varietal aromas. The wine is typically aged in stainless steel tanks or large neutral barrels to maintain freshness and highlight the grape's natural characteristics.
