Antonio Scala Ciro Classico
Scala Ciro Rosato 2021
One of the most interesting pink wines we’ve come across. 100% Gaglioppo from 30 year old vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district), with a south/south-east exposure – sand and clay soil. Juicy, spicy and ripe, it offers a delightful nose of red cherry, raspberry and aromatic herbs. Finishes long and mineral with a mouth-watering a sweet and sour tang.
An outstanding Rosato showcasing just how suited Gaglioppo is to making pink wines.
Li Veli Garissa Susumaniello 2020
Rivolta Coda Di Volpe Sannio Taburno 2017
93 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”
