Ciliegiolo – Liguria di Levante – Lunae Bosoni – 2022

The Ciliegiolo from the Lunae Bosoni winery comes from Ciliegiolo grapes grown in the only Ciliegiolo vineyard owned by the winery in the Luni plain. A vineyard of about three hectares, nestled between the Apuan Alps at about 15 km and the sea breeze just 3 km away. This Ciliegiolo is a fresh wine with pleasantly silky tannins that goes well with summer dinners with friends and family.

The harvest is strictly manual; once in the cellar, the winemaking begins with a maceration on the skins that lasts about three days. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel; the wine ages in steel for a period that varies depending on the vintage. After blending and bottling, the wine rests for a few more months in the cellar before being released on the market.

This Ciliegiolo from the Lunae Bosoni winery is well-balanced with a long and persistent finish.

Food Pairings

It goes well with red meats and medium-hard cheeses but also with cold cuts.
