The Cataldo Calabretta collection tells one of the most authentic expressions of Calabrian wine, with labels that interpret the territory of Cirò through organic, artisanal viticulture deeply connected to family tradition.
The profile of a winery rooted in the territory of Cirò
Cataldo Calabretta represents the fourth generation of a family of winemakers and has chosen to revive the ancient family winery in the heart of DOC Cirò. The production philosophy combines respect for the environment, manual labor in the vineyard, and an essential oenological approach, aiming to faithfully bring out the character of the territory.
The vineyards, cultivated according to the principles of organic agriculture, are located on hilly land in the historic areas of Cirò. Here, Gaglioppo is the identity grape for reds, while the selection also includes a white made from local grapes and an interesting expression of Ansonica, which broadens the range with a Mediterranean and direct nuance.
Essential, territorial, and recognizable wines
The selection in the collection enhances wines that focus on precision, personality, and adherence to the place. In the winery, spontaneous fermentation is favored, with limited use of sulfur and aging in ancient concrete tanks, a choice that helps preserve freshness, aromatic integrity, and taste purity.
Among the labels available, you will find the Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore DOC 2022, the Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva 2018 DOC, the Cirò Bianco DOC 2022, and the Ansonica 2021 Calabria Bianco IGP. Each wine interprets the idea of territorial identity differently, making this collection ideal for those seeking bottles capable of uniting tradition, depth, and finesse.
When to choose Cataldo Calabretta wines
The reds from Cirò are perfect for the table and naturally accompany flavorful dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, roasted meats, baked preparations, and medium-aged cheeses. The younger versions offer momentum and immediacy, while the Riserva adds complexity and structure, making it suitable for more important occasions.
The Cirò Bianco DOC 2022 and the Ansonica 2021 are instead suited for pairings with seafood appetizers, delicate first courses, grilled fish, and summer cuisine with an aromatic profile. They are wines that enhance territoriality with a sober and gastronomic style, perfect for those seeking versatile whites with character.
