Elio Sandri 'Ciman' Vino Rosso 2019 750 ml

Description

Discover the essence of Piedmont's rugged beauty in every bottle of Elio Sandri 'Ciman' Vino Rosso 2019. Crafted in the quiet hamlet of Perno within Monforte d'Alba, this Italian red wine emerges from vineyards tended by the Sandri family since the 1800s. Today, Elio Sandri guides the estate with a steadfast commitment to tradition, stepping back to let the land dictate the wine's voice.

A pure expression of Nebbiolo, 'Ciman' pours a vivid deep ruby hue that catches the light with clarity. Lift the glass, and layers unfold: delicate florals mingle with savory whispers and a streak of minerality, while fruit lingers softly behind the scenes. It's an invitation to the terroir's story, unadorned and true.

On the tongue, precision defines the experience. Firm, sinewy tannins provide a backbone, weaving through a structured flow that's direct and unyielding. Dark fruits emerge alongside hints of tar, violet, and ferrous earthiness, filling the full-bodied frame. The close echoes this intensity, with those same tannins holding firm, ferrous edges, and tar trailing long into the aftertaste.

This Piedmont Nebbiolo shines alongside robust companions. Picture it with smoky grilled meats, where its depth cuts through char; sharp aged cheeses that match its ferrous bite; or hearty pasta dishes, letting the wine's character amplify every savory twist. Elio Sandri 'Ciman' Vino Rosso 2019 earned a nod from Antonio Galloni, scoring 91 points for its authentic grip and poise.

For those seeking a red wine that bridges heritage and vitality, this 750 ml bottle at 13.50% ABV delivers. Hailing from Italy's Piedmont heartland, it stands as a testament to minimal hands guiding maximum expression. Whether stocking your cellar or planning a memorable evening, 'Ciman' promises a journey through Monforte d'Alba's soul—one sip at a time.
