91/100 - James Suckling
Red cherries, rose hips, orange peel and tomato leaves on the nose. It’s crunchy and fresh with a medium body, tight tannins and tangy acidity. Lots of energy.

Umbrië , Italy
Umbria likely evokes images of authentic, untouched Italy for many—think of ancient towns like Perugia and Assisi, surrounded by a green, hilly landscape. It is the only wine region in Italy not located by the sea or a land border. The region somewhat lives in the shadow of neighboring Tuscany and Lazio. Yet, the history of winemaking in Umbria goes back thousands of years, with the Etruscans planting the first vines. The Ciliegiolo grape is the mother of the much more famous Sangiovese. The name means ‘little cherry’ in Italian and refers to the cherry-like aroma of the wines.

Vol en toch ook een fijne fruitige wijn. Ook een echte Italiaanse smaak. Lekker!

Sierlijke Ciliegiolo wortelt zijn weg uit Umbrië. Boeket van bosaardbei. Lichte koeling voor warm klimaat in mijn glas. Ik groet de dauw druppels in mijn mond. Het voelt als een kneuzige ansicht kaart op mijn tong. Is dit echt twee briefjes van tien waard? Wat kan jou het schelen? Je pint alleen maar… 3 ster.
