Ciliegiolo 2021

The Ciliegiolo grape has been cultivated for centuries in Maremma, but only recently, following DNA analysis, it has been possible to demonstrate a strong parent/offspring correlation with the more famous Sangiovese grape. Antonio selects old vine Ciliegiolo, organically grown and ICEA-certified forty year old Ciliegiolo vines, showing fresh, bright red cherry, raspberry and blueberry fruit with floral notes. The palate is ripe and almost zesty with refreshing acidity that calls for something on the grill, Tuscan style.
