Produced mainly from the native Tuscan grape varietal Ciliegiolo, traditionally used to accompany and soften the more popular Sangiovese, this light wine has a strong cherry aroma, as the grape varietal’s name suggests. A fruity and feminine wine that nevertheless has good body and persistence from the additional Sangiovese and Colorino grapes.
