Description
100% Ciliegiolo, with partial carbonic maceration.
An homage to Aslan in the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Bussoletti’s “Asla” Ciliegiolo di Narni features bright red fruits and ripe berries, with hints of purple flowers. Juicy, light, and fresh on the palate with hints of peppery spice and undertones of clean gray stone.
This wine is light, fun, and easy. Its elegance and softness allows the classic combinations with dishes of cured meets, red and white meats and semi-seasoned cheeses, ideal with truffles.
After spending most of his life promoting other winemakers, Leonardo Bussoletti decided to start his own winery in his native Umbria. Located in southern Umbria about 45 minutes from Rome, Leonardo focuses on Trebbiano, Grechetto, and the oft-forgotten Ciliegiolo. Inspired by his passion for Burgundy, Bussoletti strives to create wines with great depth and elegance.
