Description
What kind of wine it is
Cirò Bianco Mare Chiaro by Ippolito 1845 is a still white wine with a crystalline appearance, a true expression of the native Greco Bianco grape and the Cirò region. On the nose, it reveals an intense and persistent profile, with clear notes of tropical fruit, pear, peach and delicate white flowers. On the palate, it is fresh and direct, with a distinct Mediterranean character that culminates in a lingering marine and savoury note. Thanks to its versatility, it elegantly accompanies informal dinners, pairing perfectly with sushi and raw fish, or enhancing seafood pasta dishes, white meats and cheese boards.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates from the Cirò Marina area, along the Ionian coast of Calabria. The Greco Bianco vines take root close to the Ionian Sea, an environmental factor that decisively shapes the wine’s character. The constant proximity to the sea enriches the grapes with a marked minerality, ensuring an extremely clean and vibrant tasting sensation. This deep connection with the Ionian coast and its microclimate delivers an authentic territorial expression, conveying the vocation of the local landscape through a fragrant and luminous profile.
How it is produced
The winemaking process enhances the grapes through a precise two-stage harvest. The first picking preserves maximum freshness and aromatic integrity, while the second provides greater structure to the palate. The two components are then combined in a final blend. This meticulous oenological approach ensures an ideal balance between the intensity of the aromas and the vibrant gustatory tension, offering a harmonious tasting experience that fully highlights the Mediterranean and saline soul of Greco Bianco.
