Ciliegiolo 2023, 75 cl

Red wine Ciliegiolo Maremma Toscana D.O.C.

Ciliegiolo is one of the oldest Tuscan grape varieties, which can be traced back to the 17th century. For years it was thought that it originated in Spain, introduced here by some pilgrims who travelled to Santiago di Compostela. However, recent genetic tests have shown that it originates from Tuscany, and is closely related to the Sangiovese grape. It has been rediscovered and reused in recent years and now enjoys considerable success as, if cultivated in poor-quality, well-drained soil and exposed to light winds, it provides fresh, fruity wines that also have a notable structure and longevity.

It contains a great number of polyphenols, is worthy of note due to the red-coloured fruit, which has a strong purple tinge and also boasts a silky tannin texture. It is perfect for all traditional Maremma pasta dishes made with tasty, tomato-based sauces. It matches perfectly with bread and spicy roast pork, grilled or roast meats. It is a versatile wine much appreciated at the dining table.

Our filosophy

The basic ingredients of our approach to our old-new agriculture are: biodynamic culture (stewardship of the soil as the primary driver of a rich, healthy, sustained agricultural production) and a belief in human ability and sensitivity being strengthened and enhanced by science and technology.

At Sequerciani, agriculture is the "culture" of the soil, because everything we put in our mouth comes from the soil!

The “soil” as the center of attention, and agriculture as a “set of good practices” combined with scientific research and the application of technologies.

This approach has earned us the prestigious recognition of our territory's Legambiente Ambassador in the area.

Natural winemaking: not only free from synthetic chemicals, but also from manipulation that alter and standardize original tastes and can cause intolerances and digestive difficulties [from certain yeasts, sulfites, softeners, clarifiers, etc.].

Distillations: our pomace is then distilled into both white and aged grappas, completing our range of spirits. Organic grappas from carefully selected varietals, a quality that is an absolute rare find on the market.

Nestled into the hillside and almost invisible from the outside, the Sequerciani winery is an architectural work born out of respect for the landscape. An underground building designed by Swiss architect Sergio Cavero, where form and function intertwine.

A place designed to preserve, transform, and connect.

The building interacts with the earth, exploiting its coolness and thermal inertia to naturally regulate its temperature and humidity.

Thus creating an ideal environment for fermentation and aging: stable, silent, with a constant and respectful flow of air.

It is a living climate, nourished by depth, darkness, and balance.

The Green choices that we are trying to develop at Sequerciani are being implemented in three directions:

- Analysis and improvement of daily activities in terms of energy saving, reduction of non-recyclable waste, recycling and composting, and sustainable electric mobility;

- Enhancements to our energy production systems with renewable sources and bio-construction or, at least with positive “environmental balances”;

- Experimentation and adoption of agricultural procedures and systems that regenerate the soil's fertility, protect it from erosion and desertification, reduce water consumption and improve the healthiness of food products (without synthetic chemicals).
