Ciliegiolo

About this wine

Antonio Camillo's flagship Toscana IGT bottling and the wine that put him on the map as the leading modern champion of Ciliegiolo. Fruit is hand-harvested from vineyards in the Maremma interior, fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, and bottled without heavy filtration so the variety's cherry-bright character stays intact. It has been singled out by Gambero Rosso as one of Tuscany's best value wines.

Beginner's Note

A juicy, cherry-driven red that's easy to love even for wine newcomers.
