100% Ciliegiolo - Believed to be a parent to Sangiovese (based on DNA evidence). Bright ruby with violet reflections, showing aromas of fresh cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and subtle floral spice. The palate is ripe and juicy, with cherry, red berry, and a touch of plum supported by fresh acidity and soft, rounded tannins. Dry with medium-plus acidity, medium-minus tannins, medium body, medium-plus flavor intensity, and a medium finish. This has soft sweet tannins and a dark, phenolic profile while retaining the unmistakable Tuscan cherry character. The character is fresh and energetic, with no oak to mask the fruit. Clean, vibrant, and exceptionally food-friendly, it is an approachable expression.
Food Pairing: Tuscan-style pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, wild mushroom pasta, grilled sausage, roast chicken, pork loin, charcuterie, pecorino Toscano
