Ciro' Classico Superiore Riserva DOC Duca S. Felice 2020 Librandi

Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, showing some evolution at the rim.Complex and intense, with aromas of ripe red cherries, dried plums, and blackberry. Secondary notes of leather, tobacco, and spices such as black pepper and clove. Tertiary hints of dried herbs, balsamic tones, and earthy nuances.Medium to full-bodied, with firm but well-integrated tannins. Fresh acidity provides balance and lifts the ripe fruit core. Layers of dark fruit, dried flowers, and savoury notes of leather and tobacco lead to a long, elegant finish with mineral and slightly saline undertones.Traditional, structured, and expressive of Gaglioppo’s character and the terroir of Calabria.Roast lamb with Mediterranean herbs, braised beef, game (wild boar, venison).Rich ragù-based pasta such as pappardelle al cinghiale. Aged pecorino, caciocavallo, or other hard, savoury cheeses. Grilled vegetables with olive oil and oregano, or spicy Calabrian sausage
