DOC straddling Liguria and Tuscany, coastal hills around Massa and La Spezia, Carrara marbles as backdrop. Vermentino is the signature white king (min. 90%): taut and aromatic with pear, green apple, basil, sage, almond and saline iodine touch — less herbaceous than its northern Ligurian cousins, lighter than in Sardinia, marked minerality from the rock. Supple Sangiovese and Canaiolo reds in complement.
Thirst-quenching marine whites.
Supple and moreish reds with a deep ruby colour, melted tannins and a round palate, on intense aromas of ripe red cherry (hence its name, ciliegio = cherry tree), raspberry, plum, violet and sweet spices. Fresh acidity, best drunk young or for short ageing. Vinified as a single variety in Maremma Toscana DOC, Lazio and Umbria, and blended with Sangiovese (of which it may be the genetic parent). Native Tuscan Italian variety.
