Ciro Classico Superiore A Vita 2014 organic wine, 100% Gaglioppo, very soft pressing yielding a deliciously soft and elegant Ciro. Often Ciro is too hearty, too much sun making for high alcohol, harsh tannins and too much extraction. A Vita have tamed this southern beast. A paler colour than most Ciro, the 2014 is soft, elegant, fruity and toasty. There is no oak in the maturation however, the tannins are fine and the texture delightful. Although the wine has 14% abv, it tastes like 12 with red fruits and subtle notes of spice, with a delightful salinity underpinning the wine. A cool red wine from the south, for grilled pork, this is magic.
