Cirò Bianco DOP 2023 (Bio)

  Santa Venere's Cirò Bianco appears in the glass in a bright, luminous straw yellow with greenish reflections that emphasize its freshness and liveliness. The nose reveals a delicate bouquet of citrus notes, green apples, and white flowers, underscored by subtle mineral accents that hint at the limestone and clay soils of the Calabria region. A hint of almonds and Mediterranean herbs rounds out the aroma profile and lends the wine additional elegance.

On the palate, Cirò Bianco is fresh and lively, with a clear acidity that supports the fruity aromas and gives the wine tension. The texture is pleasantly light but precise, the finish long and harmonious, with a slight aftertaste of citrus and mineral freshness. The origin of the wine is particularly noteworthy: Cirò is one of Calabria's oldest DOC regions with a long winemaking tradition dating back to ancient Greek colonization. The indigenous Greco Bianco grape variety, which dominates this wine, reaches its full potential on the sunny slopes of the region, making every sip an authentic expression of the Calabrian terroir. - Gerardo [TS10/24]
