Ciliegiolo, with its inherent charm, presents a delightful spectrum of fruity elegance and refinement. Its essence unfolds in notes of tart red cherries, gracefully intertwined with hints of alcohol. While it occasionally yearns for acidity, it readily embraces the art of Carbonic maceration, enhancing its expressive qualities. In the heart of Tuscany, Ciliegiolo often surprises, as its finest expressions rival the esteemed Sangiovese.

Across Maremma’s sun-kissed vineyards, it achieves unparalleled excellence, while Ligurian renditions offer herbal nuances, and those from Umbria exhibit a more straightforward, albeit charming, demeanor.
