A brand new, zero-zero red joins the elegantly pastoral Pacina lineup. Pacina is, a) a town, b) the god (who turned into the god) of wine and revelry & c) the name of this globally revered monastery turned winery in Tuscany! Giovanna and Stefano manage the 10 hectares of organically kept vines, plus an additional 12(!) hectares adorned by olive groves, orchards, grains, vegetables & woods. Previously their small planting of ciliegiolo was blended into their flagship red, as it is VERY hard to properly ripen, and as a result, it was often blended into other wines. With the inescapable warming of our climate they have begun producing this new bottling to showcase the rollicking nature of this too often under appreciated grape. FUN FACT! “Ciliegio” in Italian means “cherry”, the grape named after its uncompromising cherry-like expressiveness! Macerated for three weeks (among their shortest maceration times) to extract only what is needed from their thick skins. The juice then pulls a full sleeping beauty, taking two years of rest and getting more beautiful with each passing day, while waiting for waking. The hug of the pasta granny you never had, flower-girl flowers, fiddleheads, tar, salt, black cherry preserves, a galaxy of spice & a twang of acidity hitched to trailing tannins. A rare delight in both grape and bottling, enjoy with lifelong friends, or those you wish to be.
