The 2005 Rosso Ciliegiolo (80% Ciliegiolo, 10% Sangiovese and 10% Alicante) is fresh and perfumed, with plenty of vibrant sweet fruit and an accessible personality. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2010.
Sassotondo, located in the inner part of Maremma, is a unique property in the region, as it has chosen to emphasize the native Ciliegiolo over more conventional varietals. “Although we don’t have a significant amount of experience with how the wines age, our recent tasting of older vintages such as 1997 show that the wines have held up quite well,” says consulting oenologist Attilio Pagli. The vineyards, which are farmed according to biological principles, sit on poor soils of volcanic origin.
