Description
The enticing 2018 Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva wafts up with a rich blend of plum sauce, rubbed sage, brown spice and sweet smoke. Silky and refined, it casts silken textures across the palate. Wildberry fruits slowly saturate as clove hints and spiced citrus add further depth. The 2018 leaves a web of fine-grained tannins that wrap the palate with youthful poise. Cranberry crunchiness lingers under an air of violet florals. The 2018 may drink sooner than the 2016, yet that shouldn’t take any credit away from this absolutely glorious Cirò.
