Tasting Notes

A gorgeously drinkable Italian red wine that could be accurately described as tasting like a more rustic Nebbiolo from southern Italy. Wild strawberry and ripe raspberry aromas intermingle with fruit leather, sweet spices, Mediterranean scrub, and sea breezes. On the palate, the fruit components largely match the aromas found in the glass, with tart, bright red fruit opening the palate, then moving into more developed earthy, spicy, Mediterranean-herb-esque flavors, and finishing on a wave of saline minerality.

About the Producer

This property has been in the Scala family for 200 years. Initially founded in 1949, the winery was rebuilt in 2005. The domaine is currently run by Luigi Scala, who favors quality over quantity and aims to produce distinguished Calabrian wines. From the cultivation of grapes to the refinement and aging of the wines, Luigi follows family traditions to express the terroir at its best. He was joined in 2008 by his son Francesco, who oversees the business side of the winery. The Cirò DOC was created in 1969.
