Description
What kind of wine it is
Vumbaca Cirò Rosato is a still organic wine that precisely expresses the authentic winemaking tradition of Calabria. Made exclusively from Gaglioppo grapes, it displays a bright and well-defined rosé colour. On the nose, it reveals a fragrant, elegant and broad bouquet, leading to a dry, fresh and savoury palate. Its marked versatility makes it ideal to pair with cold starters, cured meats, white meats and aromatic grilled seafood.
Where it comes from
This Cirò originates in Calabria, in the Fedduraro area near Cirò Marina. The vines grow at around fifty metres above sea level, with a south-eastern exposure that ensures a consistent and balanced ripening of the grapes. The clay-limestone soils, partly sandy, give the wine structure and a distinct saline tension. The Vumbaca estate operates strictly under organic practices, preserving the ancient bush-trained vines to fully enhance the connection with the land.
How it is produced
Production begins in the second half of September with a manual harvest. In the winery, gentle pressing is followed by a short maceration lasting a few hours, aimed at delicately extracting colour and aromatic components. Fermentation at controlled temperature preserves the fruit’s vibrancy, while ageing in stainless steel for about six months keeps the aromatic profile pure. A final month of bottle ageing definitively stabilises its gustatory balance.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 2019, the Vumbaca winery transforms a deep family passion into an excellence of the Calabrian region, creating this fine Cirò DOC Rosato in the historic Fedduraro area. The six hectares of vineyard, with optimal south-east exposure, are cultivated under organic methods to enhance the terroir and revive the ancient bush-trained vine system. On clay-limestone soils, 100% Gaglioppo grapes ripen, harvested strictly by hand in mid-September to ensure a fresh, elegant wine that is deeply rooted in the local winemaking tradition.

I haven't come from a family of winemakers for generations, my mother was a teacher, my uncle the secretary of the Liceo Scientifico in Cirò while my grandfather was involved in other things. It was they who passed on to me a love for the land and a hobby that over time turned into a real job and a lot of passion. In addition to the first six hectares of land in Sant'Anastasia, over time the company expanded to the districts of Fedduraro, Frandina and finally Piana di Franze.
Today, Vigneti Vumbaca is based in Cirò and extends over an area of about 13 hectares, of which about six are cultivated as vineyards with spurred cordon and sapling training systems, on partly hilly, medium-textured clayey-sandy and clayey-calcareous soils. All organically managed.
The company takes care of its vineyards by following cultivation traditions and restoring the old vines cultivated using the alberello system (hence the company logo), focusing on native vines such as Gaglioppo and Greco Bianco, with a focus also on Pecorello. Read more
