This medium-bodied red exhibits a stunning profile of ripe wild strawberries, redcurrants, and subtle sweet spices. The wine's velvety texture and harmonious nature unfold gracefully on the palate. Its bright, lively edge adds intrigue and complexity, while the smooth finish lingers gently, leaving a refreshing aftertaste that draws you back for more.

Produced using organic farming methods (currently in conversion), the wine is both vegan and vegetarian-friendly, with no animal-derived ingredients used in its production.

| Winery | The estate vineyards are the highest in the entire Valpantena; at this elevation, the vines are cooled by air currents in summer. Extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations take place, and as a result, the grape ripening is delayed by up to a month compared to the valley floor. This long, slow ripening process encourages the development of complex aromas. The Valpantena is a valley of pre-Alpine alluvial origin featuring calcareous-clayey soils which impart distinctive minerality. A holistic approach to vineyard management is adopted, prioritising organic practices and manual cultivation. The vineyards are surrounded by forests and meadows, creating a rich biodiversity crucial for regenerative agricultural methods focusing on restoring soil health and promoting a balanced ecosystem. By encouraging natural processes, La Collina dei Ciliegi supports sustainable and environmentally friendly wine production that respects the land and its resources. |
