Antonio Scala
The Scala family is one of Calabria’s finest estates. The domaine has been in the Scala family since 1949. Today it is run by Luigi and Francesco Scala who focus entirely on organically grown, indigenous varieties. They have 18 hectares in the Cirò DOC dedicated to Gaglioppo, Greco and Magliocco.
Scala 2023 Ciro Classico
Italian Red
$39.99
A savoury southern Italian red with red cherry, orange peel and scrubby herbs, joined by baking spice and a deeper kirsch note. The palate is firm and energetic, with bright red fruit and a dry, structured shape. Its combination of warmth and freshness works well with tomato-based pasta, grilled sausage, roast peppers or aged cheese.
Scala 2025 Cirò Rosato
Italian Rosé
$37.99
Wild strawberry and citrus lead a fresh, fragrant nose with red flowers in the background. The palate is enveloping and savoury, supported by delicate acidity that keeps the fruit bright and balanced. Dry and versatile, it works naturally with grilled prawns, tomato salads, charcuterie or vegetable pasta.
Scala 2024 Cirò Bianco
Italian White
$37.99
Meyer lemon, tangerine and bitter orange lead a fresh, clean profile, with faint tropical and savoury notes adding contrast. The palate sits just beyond light-bodied, remaining crisp and focused through the finish. Bright and Mediterranean in feel, it is a natural match for grilled fish, seafood pasta, pesto or simply dressed vegetables.
Antonio Scala 2021 Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva
Italian Red
$64.99
Warm and Mediterranean in profile, this Gaglioppo-led red balances ripe fruit with savoury spice and a firm, composed structure. Long skin contact builds texture, while time in stainless steel and barrel rounds the edges without obscuring the grape’s character. The palate feels generous yet controlled, with medium body and measured grip. It closes on red fruit, gentle spice and a polished, quietly persistent warmth.
Antonio Scala 2022 Ciro Rosso Classico Superiore Magnum
Italian Red
$88.99
Red cherry, pomegranate and wild strawberry open into rose petal, dried herbs and earthy spice. The palate is medium-bodied and savoury, with bright acidity, silky yet persistent tannins and a fine thread of sea-salt minerality. Sun-dried tomato and wild thyme carry through the long finish. Decant briefly and serve with grilled lamb, tomato-based pasta or roasted vegetables.
