Ranchelle 'Poggiomattio' Rosso 2021 | Maremma, Italy

The Poggiomattio 2021 is a pure expression of the Ciliegiolo grape, one of the most Italian sounding of all grapes.

Rich flavours with plenty of ripe cherry fruits. Fruitiness balanced by the full body and chalky tannin. Interesting wine and well worth trying a variety normally found in blends.
