Named after the Silene vulgare flower, the wine embodies a union of elegance and rustic character that defines Ciolli’s artisanal approach. The vineyard sits on ancient volcanic soils, lending the wine a distinct minerality and depth. Grapes are organically farmed and hand-harvested, then fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks before aging for about a year in large, neutral oak—allowing the varietal purity to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, Silene 2024 displays a luminous ruby-red hue with aromas of red cherry, pomegranate, wild herbs, and dried rose petals. The palate offers a balance of juicy fruit and earthy undertones, framed by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Medium-bodied yet complex, it unfolds with savory nuances and a long, mineral-driven finish. This vintage reflects both the warm Mediterranean climate and the cool breezes of the Ernici Mountains, achieving remarkable harmony and drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal with roasted meats, pasta with tomato or mushroom sauces, or aged cheeses, Damiano Ciolli’s Silene 2024 captures the soul of Lazio’s hidden gem grape with authenticity and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Petit Monde","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786585731279,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/3021\/4607\/files\/IMG_6588.jpg?v=1768551726","url":"https:\/\/florwines.com\/products\/damiano-ciolli-cirsium-olevano-romano-2018-copy","provider":"Flor Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
