Vino Rosso

Wine Description for Vino Rosso by Cirelli

Colour & Appearance

Luminous ruby red with violet reflections, medium intensity. The wine presents itself clearly and lively in the glass – an unpretentious yet authentic appearance.

Nose

Immediately accessible with fresh red cherries, sour cherries and a hint of violets. Beneath these, earthy notes emerge, Mediterranean herbs and a subtle spice. The spontaneous fermentation lends the bouquet a lively, almost rustic authenticity.

Palate

At just 12% alcohol, this Montepulciano reveals itself refreshingly light-footed and quaffable. The fruit remains juicy and present – red berries, some plum – carried by a vital acidity. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, the body medium-weight. An unpretentious yet by no means simple wine that combines substance with elegance.

Finish

Medium-length with lingering fruitiness and a pleasant, slightly mineral freshness. Herbal nuances fade gracefully.

Terroir & Origin

Francesco Cirelli’s biodynamic farm lies just eight kilometres from the sea, nestled between national parks and the gentle hills of Abruzzo. The maritime proximity and sea breezes shape the microclimate of the four-hectare vineyard and impart the wines with their characteristic freshness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Montepulciano, spontaneously fermented in concrete and steel tanks as well as 800-litre amphorae from Florence. Maceration lasts 15 days. The wine is bottled unrefined and partly unfiltered – an honest expression of biodynamic philosophy.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A versatile companion to Pasta all’Amatriciana, Pizza Margherita, grilled vegetables or Saltimbocca alla Romana. Also an excellent choice with antipasti, mature Pecorino or lamb chops with rosemary.

Special Features

An authentic Vino da Tavola in the best sense – quaffable, honest, biodynamic. Francesco Cirelli’s holistic approach with goats, geese, figs and grain is reflected in the liveliness of this unpretentious yet characterful everyday wine.
