Della Staffa "Vivo Rosso" 2020

Sangiovese 40% & Ciliegiolo 60% 

Umbria, Magione, ITA

Carbonic maceration, organic, minimal intervention, unfiltered, zero sulphur

Chilled red PARTY! This red is made with both Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo, the latter being one of the region's oldest varieties. Lightly chilled, this sings with cherries, strawberries, plum and cranberry and has this wonderful almost beetroot like note to balance it out. Slurp.  Some wines you just know you’re going to pour and prompt a smile to go around the room and we all need a bit of that every now and then don’t we? Della Staffa has been one of our favourite wineries we import for years and years, loved by the bistros and sippers of Sydney. For more than 200 years from the 1700s, Conestabile della Staffa produced some of the finest wines in the region but with two world wars came a diminished farming workforce and from 1956, the estate ceased to make anything, forcing the vineyard to sell off their grapes each year.
