Tenuta Iuzzolini, 2024

Ciro Rosso Classico 2024
The local Gaglioppo grape is the basis for this delicious wine. An absolute evergreen in our assortment: this wine has served as a by-the-glass option in many Michelin-starred restaurants. A wonderfully fruity nose combined with spices, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. The dark fruit is beautifully integrated with the wood, giving it a full body and a smooth richness. The light oak aging gives the wine even more texture and makes it very concentrated. A 'luxury' house wine.

Tenuta Iuzzolini is the estate of the now very elderly Fortunato Iuzzolini. In the 1970s, he left impoverished Calabria to work in Mercedes factories in Stuttgart. In his spare time, he began importing and distributing dried pasta like Barilla's, and managed to build up a small fortune.
His homeland kept calling, and once he had saved enough, he returned to buy old vineyards in his hometown of Cirò Marina.
His sons and daughters have now joined the company, and in 2005, a beautiful new winery was put into operation. Iuzzolini's wines have been in our assortment for many years, and they continue to show their depth and refinement.
