In 2003 Francesco Cirelli and his wife Michela moved to the Abruzzo countryside, to live a more simplistic rural life, like the one that Francesco observed his grandparents living as a child while visiting each Summer. Together, Francesco and Michela founded Agricola Cirelli, a 22ha certified Organic (IMC) farm. All of its land (vineyards, olive groves, wheat field) and livestock are grown and cared for with nature’s rhythms and biodiversity in mind. With the sea only 8km away, their vineyards set amongst Abruzzo’s rolling hills enjoy a maritime influence that helps to preserve the natural balance of their wines.
Deep purple with violet reflections. The nose delivers wild mint, thyme, red cherry, and oregano aromatics over dark fruit undertones. On the palate, tart cherry and blackberry flavors combine with wooly tannins and bright acidity, creating a thick textured mouthfeel with a fresh, crunchy finish.
