Canaiolo Ciliegiolo 2021

In the glass, it displays a deep and lovely ruby red with nuances of purple.

On the nose, it instantly reveals strong hints of fresh red fruit, particularly cherry, raspberry, red currant, and rosehip. Then, one perceives notes of red flowers (peony), balsamic and vinous hints, and a final nuance of pink pepper.

Full-bodied, round, and warm on the palate, it is enveloping and has a pleasant softness that beautifully balances a fine freshness and pleasant tannin.

Suggested pairings: this is a wine best enjoyed in its youth, and works wonderfully with typical Tuscan cured meats such as finocchiona and salame toscano, pasta dishes with red meat ragout, roast pork loin, lampredotto and salsa verde sandwiches, sweet and sour pork or teriyaki chicken.
