Cirò Rosso Superiore DOC 2008 Melisseo : 10 results priced between £5.00 and £100.00

Intense ruby red color. Spiced hints of black pepper and vanilla; elegant fragrances of flowers such as violets and red roses. Full-bodied, persistent, with balanced acidity and a velvety, buttery finish on the palate. Forthright aroma of cherries.

Leather, cherry and violets dominate the nose. Rich middle mouth, with fresh acidity and tannins, good fruit and spice. A wonderful medium-bodied texture combines with superfine tannins. Finishes elegantly with nice fruit expression.

"Doride" represents the best of the vineyard: the achievement of a stylish maturity. Straw yellow, with golden hues. Intense aroma of fruity fragrances, with hints of plums and peaches, currants and balanced hints of citrus fruits and toasted spices.

A truly rare and unique wine that has caused great excitement. This wine is the regeneration of the ancient grape variety, Nibiò, which once held position as Monferrato's noblest and highest value. 200 years of neglect nearly resulted in its extinction, but our producer Luigia Zucchi has fronted the campaign for its rebirth.
