From the Grower

"Intense yellow almost gold colour, white flower aromas are most striking on the nose at first backed up by fruit, dried fruit and hazelnuts. On the palate it is quite a full bodied wine with great persistence especially thanks to the incredible salinity typical of the Ansonica grape and location."

Ansonica or Insolia, is a variety not very common in Calabria, but it has the characteristic of being always raised near the sea, so also this hectare of vineyard in Strongoli is only 300 meters from the beach of the Ionian Sea.

About Cataldo Calabretta

I am Cataldo Calabretta and I represent the fourth generation of winemakers that dedicated their lives to the vineyard at Cirò. After studying Enology and Viticulture at the Faculty of Agriculture of Milan, I worked for a few years in a number of Italian wineries. Then, in 2008, I decided to refurbish the old family cellar and bottle my wine for the first time. For over 10 years the estate is run according to the principles of organic farming, an ethical choice, which year after year is paying off: we have renewed the vineyards, continuing to cultivate the native grape variety Gaglioppo on hilly land located in the heart of the historic production zone of “DOC CIRÒ”
