Cirelli La Collina Biologica Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2016
Abruzzo, ItalyFrancesco and Michela Cirelli make wine from their 22 hectare certified organic farm, situated only 8 km from the Adriatic Sea. Cerasuolo is Italian for cherry-like, and used locally to describe rosato wines. This is 100 percent montepulciano, from calcareous clay soils, pressed and native fermented in stainless, where it spent three additional months after MLF. Fuller hued, through very fresh, with a distinctive herbal / cannabis edge that wafts throughout wild raspberries and meadow flowers, herbal cherry, dried basil and oregano on the finish. There's a lovely brisk buzz of acidity and grippy riff of texture that draws you back to the glass. Both an intellectual and a charmer, making it winner all around.Tasted: 25 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $22.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
