Colour
Cicinis appears a luminous straw yellow, edged with ripe-lemon zest.
Bouquet
The nose immediately releases emphatic notes of tomato leaf and blackcurrant branch, followed by explosive white grapefruit, flowering broom, and late-ripened Leonforte peach, crowned by a crescendo of vanilla and toasted almond, which then transmute into a subtle but fascinating hint of gunpowder.
Flavour
It enfolds the palate with its muscular, almost prickly acidity, beautifully balanced by a velvet-smooth finish that echoes the citrus, caramel, ginger and white pepper offered on the nose. Cicinis boasts near-endless length and a remarkable minerality, which is certainly fruit of the distinctive soil which produces it,: the famous “ponca” marl of the Friulan hills. In sum, an ultra-complex wine, yet one fully able to express itself with amazing simplicity.
Cicinis is ideally suited to accompany dishes high in fat such as pork (sausages, ribs), but also tomato-free vegetable soups and mushroom soups, as well as sautéed chicken with vegetables.
