A VinNatur member, the estate practices a light hand throughout: hand-harvesting, spontaneous fermentation, and homeopathic sulfur additions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003eCiliegiolo, whose name comes straight from the Italian for cherry, is grown across central Italy as a lighter, everyday red in Umbria and a bigger, more structured wine in Tuscany. Andrea Pilar's version leans into the former. Grapes are destemmed and softly pressed, then fermented spontaneously in steel for two to three weeks with a very short skin maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation and a few months of steel aging with periodic lees-stirring before bottling with only a homeopathic dose of sulfur. The 2022 is ruby red and true to its name, floral and cherry-driven on the nose with herbaceous, balsamic undertones, and juicy and enveloping on the palate, with clear but docile tannin and a long, pleasant finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrea Pilar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47790215135381,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/andrea-pilar-ciliegiolo-2022-750ml-red-wine-bottle-13-5-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
