Moderately intense aromas of black cherry and chocolate cake. Dry, with elevated acidity and moderate levels of fine, sandpapery tannins. Medium-bodied, 13°. More cherry and black tea on the palate. Not the tart, red-fruited wine I was expecting. Quite nice.

100% Ciliegiolo. Fairly intense aromas of candied black and red cherry, with a whiff of mint. Elevated acidity, moderate tannins, a bit hollow-bodied, 13°. Nice cherry fruit, pure, but lean not rich. Savory finish. This is nice. Blind, I would probably put it in Piemonte, but be confused about the variety, and end up saying Langhe Rosso.

Ruby, not quite purple. Tarry nose. Dry, pronounced acidity, medium-bodied, with moderate levels of dusty, somewhat bitter tannins. Some sour cherry fruit but not the bright red I was expecting. Mesquite grilled skirt steak should help with the rough edges.

Not a particularly inspired wine. Color was a bit too dark, nose was a bit too light and a little woody, and the palate was too sharp and had some cut grass notes.

Vibrant chartreuse color. Nose: light tobacco, chili pepper, somewhat fungal. Palatte: medium dry, clove spice, buttery, lemon zest.

tastedat USQ, NYC: light color similar to a schiava. strong nose and palate of cherries, but very tannic. reminds me of a schiave without the spice.

Ciliegiolo more

Variety is ciliegiolo, deriving from the word cherry, apparently. Very stinky nose, with dirty slatey funk. Light to medium red fruits, licorice, and mostly the dirty kitty litter thing on the nose. Deeply flavorful on the dense palate, but I'm not a big fan of this - slightly bitter with a medicinal edge. 82-83, but definitely a departure. Interested in trying more ciliegiolo, though.

Blend of sangio and ciliegiolo. Has a bit of funk, but a lot more in control than the Giove ciliegiolo bottling; much more pleasing. Fruit is stronger, has a cherry-like thing quality and a certain something else I can't quite put my finger on yet. 85-86
