Bisson Portofino Ciliegiolo Rosé

Wine Details

A passionate preservationist, Lugano champions indigenous and increasingly rare grape varieties, producing wines of singularity oftentimes in stainless steel to harness the essence of each grape type in an unadulterated fashion. Case in point: this 2024 rosato of ciliegiolo, a traditional red grape varietal rarely given any screen time. Almost electric-neon in hue, it’s light, fruity, flirty, and fun.
