Tenuta del Conte Calabria Rosso, Italy

Light-bodied, fresh, and versatile, this Calabria Rosso IGT captivates with its vibrant character. Aromas of crushed red fruits leap from the glass, revealing layers of red currant, raspberry, and a hint of orange zest. On the palate, fine tannins are beautifully balanced by bright acidity, leading to a persistent and elegant finish.

Pairs well with pasta or red meats.

The Cirò DOC is a picturesque corner of the Mediterranean, along the Ionian coast, in the eastern foothills of the Calabria region, a large peninsula that forms the toe to Italy’s boot. The Parrilla family, who own and run Tenuta del Conte, have been making wine here for four generations, the latest of which to take over the estate are Mariangela, Giuseppe, and Caterina.
