Estate: Pioneering winemaker, clay amphora innovator and all-around rock star of Abruzzo, Francesco Cirelli farms 23 hectares of certified organic land in the sandy hills of Colline Teramane, 8 kilometers from the Adriatic Sea. In addition to the vines, the estate includes olive trees, fig trees, garlic, spelt, wheat, barley, figs and geese, all farmed using organic, sustainable and biodynamic methods. La Collina Biologica is an institute for sustainable farming ideas and initiatives.
Philosophy: “Producing artisan wines reflecting the terroir and the emotions of the artisan.”
Winemaking: Hand harvested grapes are from a 2 hectare vineyard with vines averaging 6 years in age, with calcium and clay soils. Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, aged in stainless steel. Unfined, unfiltered, and low sulphur.
Tasting Notes: Gold in colour with delicate aromas of lemon, hay, apricot, wildflowers and linseed. Green pear, apple, nectarine, lemon and coriander seed are glossed by fresh acidity. A nutty streak infuses the silky lemon finish. Fresh and super gluggable.

We really like Francesco’s wines a lot. The Cerasuolo is probably the all-time “most served” wine at our house!

Agreed, all of his wines are the bomb! I spent the summer with a fridge filled with his ‘Anarchy’ 🙂
