Cirò Bianco Tenuta del Conte 2023

The Cirò Bianco from Tenuta Del Conte is a Calabrian white with a splendid quality-price ratio, an expression of pure Greco that tastes of sea, sun, and aromatic herbs. The Cirò revolution starts from a core of enlightened producers who have decided to revitalize a land with immense potential, but diminished by merely quantitative productions or grapes destined for blending wines. Among these, alongside the well-known Francesco De Franco, stands the sunny face of Mariangela Parrilla, owner of about 15 hectares of vineyards in Cirò Marina divided between Gaglioppo, Greco Bianco, and other local varieties cultivated strictly in organic farming and enhanced by equally meticulous work in the winery. The wine of the local tradition is thus brought to levels of remarkable definition and depth, and the competitive price makes it an almost obligatory daily choice. The Cirò Revolution.

The Cirò Bianco wine is obtained from pure Greco Bianco grapes from 25-year-old vines that rest on clay soils cultivated near Cirò Marina.In the vineyard, the principles of organic farming are followed, intervening only with small doses of copper and sulfur, while in the winery, soft pressing of the grapes is followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and aging in steel for 12 months.

The Cirò Bianco from Tenuta del Conte presents itself in the glass with a delicate straw-yellow hue. The nose captures Mediterranean aromas, from aromatic herbs to iodine, from citrus zest to saline notes. On the palate, the liquid is an authentic sip of the sea, perfectly balanced between savoriness, freshness, and body. Elegant and sinuous, it is splendid with all fish-based preparations, even raw. Given its irresistible drinkability, we highly recommend purchasing it by the case.
