Ciliegiolo di Narni Wine Tasting at Cantina Bussoletti in San Gemini

At the Bussoletti estate in San Gemini, you'll be welcomed by Martina, an enologist and member of the hospitality team. She will guide you through the winery's philosophy, centered on its “Aristocratic Ciliegiolo: peasant wine.”

The experience takes place in the estate’s wine shop and focuses on how a grape rooted in rural tradition can express freshness, elegance, and complexity through contemporary winemaking.

The tasting explores six different interpretations of Ciliegiolo di Narni:
- Asla Rosé IGT: A 100% Ciliegiolo rosé, fresh and mineral with notes of pink grapefruit.
- Asla Ciliegiolo Narni IGT: A young, fruit-forward 100% Ciliegiolo red aged in stainless steel.
- Brecciaro IGT: A structured, single-vineyard 100% Ciliegiolo, aged in both stainless steel and large French oak barrels.
- Ràmici IGT: A 100% Ciliegiolo from a single vineyard with sandy soils in Alviano.
- Grifo di Narnia IGT: The winery’s most prestigious single-vineyard 100% Ciliegiolo.
- Ripi Rosso Umbria IGT: A red field blend of Ciliegiolo, Merlot, and Cabernet, aged in stainless steel.

While the experience focuses on the wine, you can enhance your visit by adding a platter of local products. Options include a board with organic artisanal pecorino and traditional cured meats like salame and prosciutto, or a larger selection that also features Umbrian fried specialities and a trio of local legumes.
