From a benchmark producer in Calabria, the 2022 Scala Cirò Rosso Superiore is a stunning, traditional expression of the native Gaglioppo grape. The nose is deep and expressive, with notes of bright sour cherry, pomegranate, and wild berries, layered with savory hints of dried fennel, sun-baked earth, and a distinct minerality. On the palate, it’s medium-to-full-bodied and firmly structured, with fine, dusty tannins and a vibrant, energetic acidity that frames the pure red fruit. The finish is long, clean, and intensely savory. A classic, terroir-driven red that beautifully captures the soul of Calabria.
