Cirò Revolution Day, London March 19, 2024

Translated from Italian communication written by Giovanni Gagliardi for the Cirò Revolution group

The Cirò Revolution has given a vital shock to the local wine system, demonstrating that innovation, combined with profound respect for tradition and for the native Gaglioppo vine, can generate wines of exceptional quality, capable of telling the story and uniqueness of their terroir. Through the adoption of sustainable production practices, which take into account the environment and the appreciation of specific varieties, Cirò Revolution has been able to reinterpret the Cirotano wine heritage from a modern perspective, without ever betraying its core essence.

The success of this initiative is not limited to the production of great wines, but extends to having established a form of collaboration between producers that has set a precedent throughout Calabria and Southern Italy. The Cirò Revolution model has in fact demonstrated how cooperation and the sharing of knowledge and resources can elevate the entire sector, promoting a vision of collective growth that surpasses traditional competition.

At the "Cirò Revolution Day" event in London, those that have contributed to this transformation will be present. I am so delighted to be working alongside two of these stars Cataldo Calabretta and Cote di Franze.
