Why We Love It
Cerasuolo often sits between rosé and red, and this version leans confidently toward red. It has shape, structure, and depth while remaining fresh and vibrant. A slight chill brings out the brightness without muting its backbone.
Winemaking
Short skin contact extracts color and phenolic structure from Montepulciano. Fermented in concrete to preserve clarity and freshness, with no new oak influence.
Serving & Pairing
Serve slightly chilled. Excellent with charcuterie, grilled vegetables, roasted salmon, pizza, or herb-roasted chicken.
