Grape variety: 100% Ciliegiolo

Cultivated for centuries in Tuscany, especially in the Maremma area, Ciliegiolo represents the essence of the territory from which it originates. Produced in purity to highlight all its characteristics, it is rightly considered among the native vines of excellence and among the most typical of the region.

Winemaking:

The well-ripened grapes are selected in the vineyard, hand-picked in crates during the coolest hours of the day, crushed and destemmed and taken to thermo-conditioned stainless steel fermentation tanks. After the start of fermentation, the temperature is gradually raised, up to a maximum of 28 °C towards the end of the fermentation process. Maceration on the skins is managed with daily operations of short pumping over and déléstage and lasts about 15 days. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and then ages in the same tanks on the fine lees for about 10 months. The decanting, stabilization and bottling operations follow.

Tasting Notes:

The color is deep ruby ​​red, intense and brilliant with purple reflections; typically Mediterranean aroma, warm and richly fruity, in which notes of small black berries, thyme, calamint and pink pepper can be recognized. The long, consistent and silky tannins, well balanced by the fullness and acidity, give immediate drinkability, together with a long perspective of evolution in the bottle.
