It is our first red. The name derives from the zip code of Narni. It is made from 100% Ciliegiolo grapes, coming from two vineyards planted in San Gemini, one in Colle Ozio, the other in Colle Pizzuto. Its elegance and softness allows the classic combinations with dishes of cured meets, red and white meats and semi-seasoned cheeses, ideal with truffles.
Vinous

Rich raspberry preserves and brown spice are offset by rose petals and violets as the 2020 Ciliegiolo di Narni 05035 unfolds in the glass. This is silky yet full of zesty energy, the tart red berries and hints of sour citrus riding a wave of vibrant acidity. The cheeks pucker with residual tension and a cranberry-like saturation of fruit as the 2020 tapers off with admirable length. While the 05035 is meant to be the drink-me- now Ciliegiolo of the Bussoletti portfolio, I recommend six months to a year of cellaring to let this relax a bit.
