Cirò Bianco L'Arciglione - Cataldo Calabretta 2025
Winegrower's wines
Organic and biodynamicFloral, rich, and mineral, the Cirò Bianco by Cataldo Calabretta is a white wine that expresses the Calabrian territory with simplicity and freshness. It comes from bush-trained vines, produced in steel. It expresses notes of white flowers and yellow fruit and has a savory and fresh taste, with good balance and persistence. Organic wine, made as it once was using artisanal methods
The Cirò Bianco by Cataldo Calabretta is another example of how this young Calabrian winemaker has managed to enhance the territory from which he comes and the potential it offers. Cataldo's story begins far back, flowing slowly along the roots of his family, which has been producing wine in the countryside of Crotone for four generations; Cataldo, after studying oenology and viticulture in Milan, decided to give a new verve to the family business, immediately focusing on organic conversion and a production philosophy that allows space for the vineyard and the grapes. The interventions adopted by Cataldo and his sisters Maria and Michela in the hilly vineyards of Cirò Marina are minimal.
The Cirò Bianco comes from vineyards over 20 years old, trained as bush vines on soils rich in limestone and clay; vineyards located 100 metersabove sea level, partially exposed to the North and partially to the South, enjoying a warm and dry climate and light breezes that flow slowly between the vineyards.
Strictly manual harvest, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and aging for 6 months in steel on the lees: thus the Cirò Bianco by Cataldo Calabretta is born, a great example of Calabrian white wine that never disappoints thanks to its personality, its mineral verve, and its savory backbone. White flowers and yellow-fleshed fruit, persistence, and beautiful freshness: a white from Greco grapes waiting to be discovered…
