History This vine seems to have been imported by some pilgrims on their way back from Santiago de Compostela. It has been cultivated in Maremma for almost 170 years, and here it has found an ideal habitat. It takes its name from its big berries (cherry’shape) and its intense colour and typical aroma of ripe cherries. Ciliegiolo is popular in Maremma but extremely rare in the rest of Italy; till few years ago this varietal was primarily used as a lesser blending grape with Sangiovese in a few Super Tuscans. Grillesino is one of the very few wineries that vinified it in pureness.
