Ciṛ
Located
on the Jonion side of Calabria, the town of Ciṛ
is split in two areas. The part of town
that keeps the historic remains that date back to the 17th
and 18th century, and the castle of the 15th/16th
century is called "Ciṛ
Superiore", the more modern
part is "Ciṛ Marina"
placed close to the beach, with it's small "Castle
of Carafa", and where
the finest vineyards are situated to make the world wide
known DOC wine "Ciṛ".
Both
Ciṛ Marina and Ciṛ Superiore are the
areas of production of the DOC Ciṛ Classico,
12.5° alcoholic degrees, Ciṛ Riserva
and Ciṛ Superiore both
of 13.5° alcoholic degrees. These
reds are made out of "gaglioppo"
grapes, a typical Calabrian grape. It has a ruby red colour and a
dry and full taste. It goes very well with the Calabrian Salamis as
"Soppressata", roasts and ripened cheeses.
The
houses also make a Rose that fit for hors
d'oeuvres and white meat, and a White good with vegetable hors d'oeuvres,
fish dishes and pasta dishes.
