Tenuta dei Baroni Capoano Cirò Rosso Classico 2020

Tenuta dei Baroni Capoano Cirò Rosso Classico is praised for its rich fruit profile, with hints of oak and leather. Some enjoy its full-bodied, fruity nose and supple tannins, while others appreciate the vibrant cherry notes in younger vintages. However, opinions vary on its intensity and finish, with some finding it decadent and others noting a more subtle experience.

Exhibiting a deep ruby hue, this Cirò Rosso Classico unfurls with an aromatic bouquet of ripe black cherry, dried herbs, and a whisper of forest floor, underscored by a mineral edge that speaks to its Calabrian terroir. The palate is medium-bodied, with a vibrant acidity that enlivens the concentrated dark fruit core, while fine-grained tannins provide a firm yet elegant structure. Nuances of licorice and a touch of earthy complexity emerge on the lingering finish. This wine is a quintessential expression of Gaglioppo, offering both immediate appeal and potential for short-term cellaring.
