Leonardo Bussoletti - Asla Ciliegiolo Di Narni 2023 750ml

Leonardo Bussoletti Asla Ciliegiolo di Narni captures the wild and untouched beauty of the Umbria region. Crafted in the heart of Italy, this red wine showcases a deep commitment to organic farming and sustainable practices. The winery focuses purely on local grapes, making quality the absolute top priority.

The wine is made entirely from the Ciliegiolo grape. Workers carefully hand harvest the fruit from two specific vineyard sites that sit on rolling hills of clay and limestone. The vines are managed with strict organic methods to protect the natural landscape. In the modern, eco friendly cellar, the winemaking team uses spontaneous fermentation with natural wild yeasts. The wine then rests in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees for six months. This careful resting period builds a rich, soft texture without masking the pure fruit flavors. It finishes with an extra month or two of aging in the bottle before release.

In the glass, this red wine offers incredible freshness and a beautifully smooth texture. Because it never touches oak barrels, the bright fruit flavors shine through clearly. It is highly versatile and drinks perfectly with a slight chill. Enjoy a glass on its own as a welcoming drink, or pair it with your favorite comfort foods. It flawlessly matches pizza, cured meats, artisan cheeses, and roasted vegetarian dishes. You can even serve it alongside grilled fish for a unique and delicious pairing. This is a brilliant, everyday red wine that brings the authentic taste of the Italian countryside straight to your table.
