San Ferdinando Ciliegiolo Rosato 2021

Ciliegiolo Rosato is a rosé wine from San Ferdinando, a company from Civitella in Val di Chiana, Tuscany. It is obtained from pure Ciliegiolo grapes which ferment spontaneously with native yeasts after a very short maceration, with refinement for 6 months in steel. We appreciate it very much because it is suitable for all seasons thanks to its strong tannin and its body, then surrounded by heady floral and fruity scents. Ciliegiolo Rosato is extraordinary with scampi cream risotto!

Great value for money

In the greenery of the Val di Chiana, in an uncontaminated area far from any inhabited centre, rurality and sustainability have reigned supreme for decades.

Here the production of wine and oil has centuries-old roots and San Ferdinando with 60 hectares of which 9 are under vineyards, has been grafted magnificently since the year 2000 into a “wild” ecosystem with radical choices, the cornerstone of which is the valorisation of native varieties.

Suffice it to say that Pugnitello, for example, there are fewer than 20 producers and only in Tuscany. The Ciliegiolo is very great, with a fresh style and vinified only in steel.

Also noteworthy are the Sangiovese, produced only in the best vintages, and the Vermentino but the entire line combines very high quality and incredibly accessible prices.
