05035 Rosso Narni Ciliegiolo
Narni, Terni, Umbria, Italy
The 2021 Rosato Ciliegiolo 05035 is a total pleasure to take in, with its beautiful mix of strawberry sorbet, candied orange and sweet mint. It’s round, nearly glycerol in feel, yet also more savory than expected, with a sweet-and-sour citrus mix that gives way to salty mineral tones. $19.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2022)

A goofy Ciliegelo, like the label. Joyous black fruits but not the inky dense & more serious Cilegielos I’ve had previously

Great with pizza. Medium body, red fruit-forward with mild tannins.

Very dark but medium–light bodied. Short and slightly bitter finish, tight tannins. Tart cherries and berry, mushroom, tabacco and light earthiness. From Shawn’s.
UPDATE: Had another bottle a few weeks later, liked it better, more like a 9.0
