2018 'A Vita Ciro Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva, Calabria, Italy Richard Stavek The floor is consistently coveredThe Riserva is 100% Gaglioppo from the vineyard Muzzunetto, the oldest vines of the estate, planted in 1968, facing north. The grapes were harvested in the first week of October at 50hl ha. Fermentation was spontaneous with an extended maceration of one month, after which the free run juice is drained (not pressed). Aged one year in a 2000L Slavonian oak botte. It undergoes a wide filtration and is then bottled aged until four years after the harvest.
