Ciro' Marina (Crotone), Italy [Calabria]
 
Aromatically the wine lifts from the glass with intensely ripe tropical fruits, as well as fresh white flowers. On the palate the wine is vibrantly bright and acidic, with notes of crunchy pears, juicy peaches, and salty sea air.
 
Site: Sandy-limey flats near the Ionian Sea, very close to sea level, often flooded in the winter.
Grapes: 100% Greco Bianco - a different Greco from that found in Greco di Tufo.
Fermentation and Aging: Stainless steel.
Notes: The name “Res Dei” is a nod to historical records which claimed that Greco was “a thing of the gods”. The wine has a beautiful floral aspect, abundant richness on the pallet, and wonderful texture.
