About the Wine

San Ferdinando’s 2020 Ciliegiolo Toscana IGT is a true reflection of Tuscany’s rich winemaking heritage. Grown in the rolling hills of Val di Chiana, this wine is made from 100% Ciliegiolo—an ancient grape variety known for its bright, juicy character. Typically used as a blending grape, here it stands proudly on its own, showcasing a vibrant and refreshing personality that captures the essence of the region’s stunning landscape.

The Grifoni family, who’ve been tending this land since 1850, made a bold move in 2008 by fully restoring the winery and committing to organic farming. This wasn’t just a new chapter—it was a return to their roots, literally and figuratively. Their dedication to native varieties and minimal intervention winemaking results in wines that are pure, expressive, and deeply tied to their terroir.

The San Ferdinando estate, nestled in the stunning Val di Chiana, spans over 60 hectares of pure Tuscan charm. The family’s commitment to quality is evident at every step—from the meticulous care given to the vines, to the handpicking of the grapes, to the state-of-the-art cellar where the magic happens. The vineyard is managed with the utmost care, ensuring that only the finest fruit makes it into the bottle. No pesticides, no herbicides—just a natural, thriving environment that lets the grapes flourish.

This Ciliegiolo is medium-bodied with soft tannins and lively acidity, making it incredibly food-friendly. Whether you're enjoying a simple pasta dish, grilled meats, or a plate of aged cheeses, this bottle is a perfect match. Serve it slightly cool for the best experience.

Tasting Notes

100% Ciliegiolo. Fresh and juicy, this red bursts with flavors of cherry, raspberry, and hibiscus, accented by lavender, rosemary, and a hint of oregano. Soft tannins and bright acidity create a smooth, refreshing finish.
