Description
What kind of wine it is
Colli del Mancuso Cirò Classico Superiore Riserva is a red wine by Ippolito 1845, created to enhance the Gaglioppo, an indigenous grape variety of the region. It presents a vibrant ruby red colour, while the bouquet reveals elegant aromas of morello cherry, plum, spices and vanilla. On the palate, it offers a full and smooth flavour, supported by a fine tannic structure. It is recommended to let it breathe for about an hour before serving, making it the ideal pairing for red meats, braised dishes and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Calabria, in the heart of Cirò Marina, in the province of Crotone. The grapes are grown on the slopes of the Colli del Mancuso wine region, where the microclimate encourages a slow and steady ripening of the bunches. Harvesting takes place in the second half of October, ensuring a selective and high-quality pick. The result is an authentic expression of Cirò, endowed with a significant structure designed to ensure excellent longevity.
How it is produced
After a rigorous selection of the bunches, vinification involves a long maceration on the skins, essential for extracting colour and tannic components. The wine matures for at least twelve months in oak barrels, where it gains further depth and roundness. The process concludes with a slow refinement in the bottle, for a total period of thirty-six months. The result is a complex and harmonious red, perfect to serve at a temperature between sixteen and eighteen degrees.
