Top Notes For
Ceccherini Cristiano

A bit funky when opened
Fruit, spices and inky
Quite long and smooth
Time ahead
It would be actually appropriate to decant this wine for a while before serving it
I like the flavour and the way the liquid is developing in your mouth, but I am not 100% convinced yet 🤔

At the end of its life but still kicking. Powerful Nero di Troia with smooth tannins. Perfect lamb accompaniment. Starting to pick up some balsamic notes but those flavors go well with lamb.

A very acidic, intense red wine that is perfect for steak. Powerful tannins in the finish are now smooth yet bitter. The nose is intense dark red fruit. Strong leather to start, and tannic to finish. An excellent wine.

Perfect with steak or lamb. This wine is very strong, and needs decanting for at least an hour. It starts with licorice and has a long finish of leather.

Wine perfection. Cranberry and licorice flavors, powerful licorice nose. Underrated on Vivino. Perfect with steak or lamb.
