DOC from Liguria on the Riviera di Levante around Portofino, terraced vineyards facing the sea, schist and limestone soils. Vermentino and Bianchetta Genovese are the signature whites (≥60 %): dry and taut with lively notes of citrus, grapefruit, Mediterranean herbs, bitter almond and a salty-iodine mineral finish. Ciliegiolo and Dolcetto make supple, fruity reds. Moscato and Scimiscià add aromatic interest.
Perfect seafood wines.
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.
