MAREMMA TOSCANA
CILIEGIOLO
DOCG.
BIOLOGICO
Ciliegiolo
Costamadre is inspired by the Mediterranean identity of our company, a land influenced by the Tyrrhenian Sea, which also leaves a strong mark on our red wines. In Ciliegiolo, the fullness of the fruit is expressed with an immediate fragrance centered on red pulp that recalls cherries. Our expression integrates perfectly with the company's style: tending towards elegance thanks to its marked freshness, it combines drinkability and soft fruit. The production choice is also interesting for the construction of identity: the vines are planted in the Poggio Bestiale cru, the most noble of the company but with less generous production, great austerity, and stones.
