"Nacchero" Ciliegiolo Toscana IGT 2022

Homage to 'fruitiness'. This is the Nàcchero, Ciliegiolo, Toscana IGT, proposed here by the Grillesino winery. We are in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma and the Ciliegiolo, an indigenous vine of the area, has been cultivated in these parts for almost two centuries. In the past it was only used in the blending of other Tuscan red wines, Chianti above all, but for some time now it has been rediscovered and enhanced with pure processing. As in this case. Nàcchero presents itself in the glass with a beautiful bright ruby red colour, extremely limpid. Its taste is harmonious, rich with hints of ripe cherries and pleasant notes of small red fruits. A soft and persistent wine, it is fresh, elegant and modern in the mouth. The moderately persistent finish prolongs the pleasure for a few seconds after each sip, inviting the drinker to immediately pour a second glass. Its vinification involves soft pressing and maceration on the skins for about 2 weeks. At the end of the transformation and after malolactic fermentation, the wine is left to age in vats for several months, without filtration, to maintain the characteristics of the fruit. Versatile, easy-drinking, this Ciliegiolo is ideal to accompany fresh cheeses and cured meats, but also summer dishes thanks to its freshness.
