ABOUT THIS WINE

95% Sangiovese, 5% Alicante Bouschet.

Believed to be a parent to Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo (which translates to “little cherry,” a name befitting both the adorably sized grapes and the red fruit notes on the palate) is an incredibly versatile, crowd-pleasing varietal. A medium-bodied red wine that can take a chill but perhaps make a bit more of a statement at the dinner table, this is a wine that is as spectacular alone in the glass as it is alongside a good meal.
