This interesting red wine is produced from a little-known native Tuscan grape variety called Ciliegiolo. Most often used as a minor blending partner for Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo has bright, sour cherry flavours and tangy acidity. This is a weighty yet refreshing red with appealing notes of menthol and eucalyptus that complement the tart cherry flavours. Finishes dry and savoury with fine, chalky tannins. Drinking well now. Serve slightly chilled. 2023-2030 – JB
