I was really impressed with this wine and can't wait to get more myself. oh-my, I really fell in love with wild boar ragu myself during my first trip to Tuscany, just can't seem to find it here in San Diego. <br /><br />Those 05's must be drinking fab, right now, Ciliegiolo is a fantastic wine-bearing grape, here's to the wine-glass staying half-full, cheers!Will Eyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183703307642614234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819914291670678530.post-9213479424201812392012-01-20T12:50:41.255-08:002012-01-20T12:50:41.255-08:00Sassotondo Ciliegiolo is a favorite of mine.

Fortunately, I visited Pitigliano in 2006 and met the woman who makes it, and then bought 6 bottles back with me when I visited Rome in 2009. (No one has ever more joyfully carried a half-case of wine on public transportation!) Around Pitigliano, it's served with wild boar ragu--delicious. I'm thrilled to hear that it's available in retail now, because my remaining four bottles of 2005 seem too dear to drink!Gilanah Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102988183302389306noreply@blogger.com
