2019 Domaine de L'Agramante Ciaula

Ciaula is a Côtes-du-Rhône rouge produced by Domaine de l’Agramante in the Southern Rhône, named for the Sicilian word for “Crow” and inspired by a Pirandello narrative in which a miner first beholds the beauty of the moon. The wine is crafted from old vine Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Counoise (with some vintages incorporating Mourvèdre), reflecting the region’s traditional grape varieties. In the winemaking process, extended maceration techniques are applied to older vine Grenache to extract additional phenolic compounds and build structure, while still preserving the varietal expression and character of the terroir.
