Massimiliano and Walter Bartolomei are the visionary brothers behind Ciu Ciu (pronounced choo choo), a name given as their Great Grandfather worked for the local railway company. Ciu Ciu is a mixed organic farm in the hills of the Marche in central Italy so as well as vineyards they produce olives, grains etc.

For wines they focus on traditional, local varieties that match the local climate, soils and foods.

Just like Bacchus, god of wine, this wine is joyous, kind and mischievous (it's so drinkable, it is hard to resist another glass!) Perfect with a pizza or some grilled lamb.
