Cantina Tollo, Hedòs, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, Abruzzo, 2019

From vines in Tollo at a relatively low 130m, the grapes for this wines are macerated for 24 hours before fermentation and maturation in stainless steel. There's a copper tinge to the cherry colour. It's clear and bright and has a hint of leesy creaminess on the nose, alongside fresh, ripe cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruits. In the mouth it's deliciously clean and fresh too, the red fruits showing good intensity. There's just a hint of spice on the mid-palate and a delightful pillowy leesiness in the background. Simple, yes, but effective too. Well balanced.
