Ciliegio 2018 Mastrojanni
The Ciliegio 2018 by Mastrojanni is an IGT Toscana wine that highlights the character of Ciliegiolo, a traditional Tuscan grape variety cultivated here in just 1.61 hectares of vineyard. The soils, composed of clay, sandstone and lacustrine sediments, and the favorable 2018 vintage—marked by a mild winter, a hot summer and an ideal harvest climate—produced grapes of excellent quality and concentration.
Harvested by hand on September 10th and carefully selected on sorting tables, the grapes undergo destemming and crushing before fermenting in cement vats. The 26-day maceration on the skins ensures depth of color, structure and aromatic complexity.
The wine then matures for 12 months in cement vats and refines for at least 4 months in bottle, preserving freshness while enhancing elegance and balance. In the glass, it shows a brilliant ruby red hue and offers aromas of crisp cherry, ripe red fruits and subtle spices, with mineral hints that recall the terroir. On the palate it is smooth, vibrant and persistent, with soft tannins and a long, harmonious finish.
This wine reflects Mastrojanni’s dedication to enhancing historic Tuscan grape varieties through precision and craftsmanship. Perfect with grilled meats, light game and semi-aged cheeses, the Ciliegio 2018 is enjoyable now but also capable of further evolution in the cellar.
