The vines that compete in different measure for the production of the Cirò in its different typologies, are the gaglioppo, the white Greek and they thresh Tuscan. We see in detail the characteristics of each of these vines.

Gaglioppo
Known also as magliocco or black mantonico, notice also the presence in other Italian regions what the Abruzzo, Campania, Umbria and the Brands.
In Calabria is also used heavily for the production of different wines by the Cirò and shed in the whole region. The particularity of the Calabrian ground, dryness ground and sour, it furnishes the microclimate that more it is fit for this vine, among the other very resistant and characterized by an enough precocious maturation.
And' a berry vine redhead and the wine that it draws introduces a strong alcoholic (it often overcomes the 14 degrees) gradation with a notable body. The color of the gotten wine is red intense ruby with wine perfumes, when wine is young, that they evolve in a rich bouquet with the time. With these characteristics we can say that the wine gotten by grapes gaglioppo is also lent well to the aging of six-eight years.

Greco bianco
They were probably the Pelagi to care this vine from the Tessaglia, in Greece, and they spread him/it in the zones of the south of Italy of their influence.
Wines are numerous that are produced by this vine and they are all wines that have a notable history to the shoulders. Among all we remember the Greek of Tufo, in the avellinese, the Erbaluce, produced in province of Novara and the Lacryma Christi produced to the slopes of the Vesuvius. Leggenda vuole che il "Greco di Bianco" know and such "Greco di Gerace", the most prestigious and famous wine currently drawn by grapes Greek, has furnished the necessary vigor to the soldiers to defeat the army of Crotone, 10 times superior, in the battle on the river Feast fought in 560 to.C. Surely this is the wine of which more ancient testimony is had. The wine gotten by grapes Greek has more intense pale yellow yellow color with tendency to the gilded one and reflected brass, of characteristic perfume of fruit shoal, soft and harmonic taste, to drink young and however possibly within the two years.

Trebbiano toscano
The they thresh Tuscan it participates in measure a lot of redoubt in the production of Cirò. And' a vine, however, among the most diffused in Italy, present in the composition of a lot of wines doc both whites how red. adaptability to the different typologies of ground and climatic conditions; his/her notable productivity and the characteristics of the wine that it derives, that is sufficiently neutral to be able to be used in union with other wines stronger personality, they are the factors pricipali that determines his/her vast diffusion. The Gaglioppo, said also "Magliocco" or "black Mantonico", it is the vine that is like her/it master in the production of the red Cirò, even if grapes are rarely used they thresh Tuscan and Greek that in the vineyard you/they must not overcome the 5% of the total one, and this composition very similar to that used for the Cremissa authorizes to think that really the Cirò is the descendant in straight line of the Cremissa, so loved by the people of Great Greece. Maintaining her same percentages of different grapes, even if probably it would be more correct to consider the Cirò a monovitigno rather than an uvaggio seen the low percentages of different grapes by the galioppo, the same can assume the typology "Rosy" when vinificato comes with a defined technique "partially in white", while it is assuming the typology "Red" when vinificato comes "in red." As it regards the typology "White", this is gotten by grapes white Greek with possible additions of they Thresh thin Tuscan to a maximum of 10%. The Cirò can be defined "Classical" only when grapes originate from the situated vineyards in the communes of Cirò and Cirò Marina, while the wine's production to Doc also includes the territories of the communes of Melissa and Crucoli. With a period of 3 year-old aging and a 13,5% least gradation, the red can bring the qualification of "Reserve."
