Ciu Ciu, Bacchus Rosso Piceno 2024 From Sunday Winemakers

Ciu Ciu, Bacchus Rosso Piceno 2024 From Sunday WinemakersThis organic blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese offers soft, lightly spiced berry fruit and gentle, fine tannins. Best drunk young to preserve its freshness, it will work well with gammon and other lighter red meats. And if, like us, you were wondering about the curious name (it's pronounced "choo choo", as in Thomas Il Trenino), then yes, it's because a family ancestor did have a job role on the Italian railways.

with the vineyards of Viré-Classé bordering on the east

Generous but not overpowering acidity that melds well with the soft tannins

balancing acidity and spicy warmth

Entry is cinnamon-like and gently sweet
