Introduction:
The 2024 Scala Cirò Bianco is a vibrant and minerally white wine from southern Italy’s Calabria region. Crafted from 100% Greco Bianco, this expressive bottling beautifully bridges freshness and terroir clarity.
Terroir:
Sourced from vineyards near Cirò (Crotone province) planted at 100–150 m elevation on sandy-clay and limestone soils. The influence of Mediterranean breezes and Calabria’s sunny climate promotes both aromatic purity and natural acid lift.
Appearance:
Bright straw-yellow with green highlights; clean and luminous.
Nose:
A fresh and vibrant bouquet featuring Meyer lemon, tangerine, bitter orange, and hints of tropical fruit and savory nuances—aromatics that suggest both freshness and southern warmth.
Palate:
Light-bodied with an energetic interplay of citrus zest, green pear, and saline minerality. The wine is achingly fresh and clean in the mouth, with precise acidity and texture that feels both elegant and effortless.
Finish:
Pure and persistent—a crisp citrus thread fades into a mineral-tinged echo, making for a lingering and refreshing closing note.
Overall Impression:
A radiant and captivating Greco Bianco that pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine, seafood dishes, or enjoyed warmly on its own. A standout summer white with regional charm and tension.
