Ciliegiolo DOC Portofino is a Ligurian red wine that charms with its freshness and maritime soul. It features a lively and transparent ruby red color. The nose releases an intense and vinous fragrance, dominated by clear hints of black cherry and small red fruits, typical of the grape variety it is named after. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and characterized by a pleasant mineral saltiness provided by the proximity to the sea. With a 12% alcohol content, it is a snappy and highly drinkable wine, perfect for pairing with local cuisine: from pasta dishes with pesto or meat sauce to Ligurian savory pies and more structured fish soups.
