TASTING NOTE:

Delightful nose of strawberry, morello cherry and liquorice root. The wine has an uncomplicated juiciness that begs for a second and third glass. It can even be merrily chilled.

FOOD RECOMMENDATION:

A fine wine with or without food. Try with pizza, grilled meats, pasta and tomato sauce.

The farm, in the centre DOCG Offida production area, has a vineyard of 150 ha farmed organically. Ciù Ciù believe that wine must be the most authentic expression of the origin’s territory.
