2025 Cataldo Calabretta Ciro' Rosato

100% Gaglioppo

Rosato is Calabria’s traditional wine and it is the wine style that producers in the area hold in high esteem. It's darker than the provincial style rose'- expect a little tannin too. This wine pairs well with more serious, main dishes like sausages, stewed pork dishes, flavorful vegetable dishes or Indian curries, even red meats!

Cataldo is all organic in the vineyards. He typically doesn’t use temp control fermentation on his wines, and rather opts for cement tanks which are naturally insulating due to the thick stone walls. The wines are unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur at bottling. Another fine example of natural wine. The vineyards are mostly in the more inland colline (hills) of the Ciro’ appellation, with limestone clay soils.
