La Vecchia Posta "Rosso Ciliegio" Colli Tortonesi

From a historic vineyard in Tassare, planted in the 1960s by the Baiardi family and now cultivated orgaincally by Vecchia Posta.

Ciliegiolo is a red grape variety of central and northwestern Italy, something of an obscurity in past decades but now undergoing a renaissance. The grape's name comes from an Italian word for cherry, a fruit which Ciliegiolo wines resemble both in color and aroma. It is this character that has prompted the vine's renaissance.
