*not Madeira. This is fortified solera wine from the Azorean island of Pico. Ripe citrus, honey, & almonds; textured but soft, finishes with brisk acidity and saline. Aging in old oak casks throughout the life of the wine until the time of blending.

Ciliegiolo is a traditional though rarely seen Ligurian red grape. This is either a red that drinks a bit like a rosé, or a rosé that drinks a bit like a red. Tons of cherry and red berries, tangy acidity, hint of tannins.
