Alberto Motta - 2022 - Ciliegiolo DOC - 750 ml.

Italy - Toscana

Ciligieolo

Ciliegiolo turns up across central Italy as a blending grape and only occasionally on a label of its own, which makes a varietal bottling like this 2022 from Alberto Motta an outlier. It grows in Tuscany, and its genetic relationship to Sangiovese has been argued over in DNA studies that researchers still read different ways.
