Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2019 PDO Fosso Cancelli Ciavolich
The Montepulciano grapes are rigorously harvested by hand. After the first pressing-destemming process, the skins remained in contact with the must for 12/24 hours inside small cement wine vats until the start of spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. A fraction of the fermenting must was then taken from the bottom of the wine vase, through a classic 'bloodletting' operation, which was then transferred into terracotta amphorae where it continued spontaneous fermentation without temperature control. Ageing continued on the noble lees in amphorae until bottling in early spring.

Tasting notes
On the nose, the wine is an intense shiny roast, with sensory notes of pomegranate, blueberry and poppy flower. In the mouth it is lively, crisp, in tune with the olfactory scents, and in any case typical of cherry, with a soft and rounded finish that characterises the drink.
