The 2021 Rosato Cirò is an alluring, translucent red with coppery-pink hues in the glass, as smoky notes of crushed rocks and chalk dust give way to minty herbs and wild strawberry. It's silky, rich and pliant, feeling more like a red than rosé. Stimulating acidity and tart cherry-berry fruits that saturate, adding cheek-puckering tension toward the close. A coating of sweet tannins linger, along with a residual bump of citrusy tension that adds contrast. The 2021 finishes long, with sweet inner violet tones that linger on and on. The 'A Vita winery is, without a doubt, masters at making Gaglioppo Rosato. What a beauty. ... More details

Winery
100% Gaglioppo from massale selection. This parcel- Vigna Fego- has clay/marl soils, and is very close to the ocean; farmed organically, with cover crops and wild herbs. The average age of the vines is 9 years, and the site is planted with 5,500 vines per hectare. The fruit is harvested manually at the end of September. After crushing and destemming, the grapes macerate for 12 hours in stainless steel without temperature control, after which they are not pressed, but drained by gravity. Fermented with native yeast, and no temperature control; 100% malolactic. Aged 8 months in stainless steel.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
