2019 Domaine de l'Agramante Ciaula

Ciaùla translates to Crow in Sicilian, referencing a Pirandello story about a mine worker who emerges at night and sees the moon's beauty for the first time—a metaphor for discovering one's dreams beyond daily toil. This name holds personal significance for winemaker Carlo da Rocca, marking his own awakening to the world of wine. Produced by Domaine de l'Agramante in the Southern Rhône, this Côtes-du-Rhône is a Grenache-based blend with Syrah, Cinsault, and Counoise from older vines planted in the 1970s and 80s. Extended maceration provides depth and structure while maintaining freshness and brightness, resulting in a lively, medium-bodied red with balanced tannins and notable energy.
