Calabria, Southern Italy
Calabria, Southern Italy
Scala 2022 Ciro Classico
Italian Red
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.
Antonio Scala 2021 Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva
Italian Red
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.
Caffo Vecchio Amaro del Capo
Italian Liqueur
Pungent orange zest, mint and liquorice lead a vivid herbal profile, with aniseed and orange blossom adding lift. The palate balances bittersweet orange and honeyed softness against clove, juniper, gentian and black pepper. Twenty-nine Calabrian herbs, flowers, fruits and roots create a layered character without losing focus, while the finish is long, cooling and mentholated. Serve very well chilled, over ice, or use in cocktails that benefit from firm citrus, warming spice and a clean herbal bitterness.
Caffo Vecchio Amaro del Capo Red Hot Edition
Italian Liqueur
Orange blossom, chamomile and anise lead an aromatic nose, joined by mint, liquorice and the first hint of Calabrian chilli. The palate keeps the original herb, flower, fruit and root infusion at its core, balancing gentle bitterness and sweetness with a steady warming heat. The spice builds without overwhelming the layered botanical character, carrying through a clean and persistent finish. Serve very cold as a bracing digestif, or use a measured pour to add depth and heat to cocktails.
