Introduction:
The 2022 Scala Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore is a refined and expressive interpretation of Calabria’s signature red grape, Gaglioppo. It delivers a balance of ripe fruit, savory depth, and a distinctive mineral backbone.

Terrior:
Estate-grown in the Cirò Classico zone at roughly 200 m elevation. Soils are clay-limestone with excellent drainage, and the vineyards benefit from warm Mediterranean days and cooling sea breezes from the Ionian coast, allowing for slow, even ripening.

Appearance:
Brilliant medium ruby with garnet hues at the rim, showing youthful vibrancy.

Nose:
Aromatic layers of red cherry, pomegranate, and wild strawberry, accented by dried herbs, rose petal, and subtle earthy spice.

Palate:
Medium-bodied, with silky yet persistent tannins and bright acidity. Flavors of ripe red berries are joined by savory notes of sun-dried tomato, wild thyme, and a touch of sea salt minerality.

Finish:
Long and elegant—red fruit and herbal notes linger with a fine mineral edge and gentle tannic grip.

Overall Impression:
A pure, terroir-driven Gaglioppo that shows both freshness and complexity. Perfect with grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, tomato-based pasta dishes, or semi-firm cheeses. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 6 years.
