Ciro Rosè Mabilia 2025

Type of wine

Mabilia is a Calabrian rosé wine by Ippolito 1845, a faithful expression of the Cirò territory. Produced from Gaglioppo grapes and vinified in steel, it presents a crystalline cherry-pink appearance with ruby reflections. On the nose, it reveals a floral and fruity bouquet, defined by clear aromas of black cherry and rose petals, enhanced by delicate mineral nuances. On the palate, it shows a well-defined structure, offering a fresh, savoury and enveloping sip. The taste balance concludes with a remarkable persistence that recalls the initial scents, confirming its elegant and dynamic profile.

Origin

This rosé is born in the most suitable lowland areas of Cirò Marina, an area of Calabria historically linked to winemaking excellence. Cultivation in these soils gives the wine a smooth drinkability and an innate elegance. The name pays homage to Mabilia, an 11th-century Norman princess who lived in the lands of the Marquisate of Crotone, linking the wine's character to its noble local roots. Ippolito 1845 tends these vineyards to enhance the authentic territorial expression, offering a taste that reflects the Mediterranean charm and the area's rich agricultural history.

How it is produced

The process begins with a careful manual harvesting of the clusters. To extract the cherry-pink hue and primary fragrances, the Gaglioppo grapes undergo a maceration on the skins for twenty-four hours at a controlled temperature. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, ensuring a clean and fragrant organoleptic profile. Finally, the wine undergoes a calibrated ageing in steel before completing maturation with a necessary resting period. This production choice aims to protect the natural freshness of the fruit, creating a balanced and harmonious body.
