- Ciliegiolo (which means “cherry-like”) is used primarily as a blending grape in Chianti Classico for its aromatic character. In the volcanic hills of the Maremma in south-west Tuscany, it comes to the fore as a major independent varietal in the hands of Carla and Edoardo Ventimiglia.
- At their Sassotondo winery, they have been since 2007 using biodynamic farming techniques to develop the full potential of this unique varietal.
- Young and fresh, it is vibrant ruby-red in color with cherry-berry aromas and hints of anise. Its tannins are soft, and the finish is long and smooth.
- This wine pairs wonderfully with charcuterie and vegetable antipasti. It is also excellent with porchetta and grilled lamb chops.
