AboutCiù Ciù
Natalino and Anna Bartolomei founded Ciù Ciù in 1970 near the hill town of Offida, in the Marche province of Ascoli Piceno. Their sons Massimiliano and Walter now lead the winery. The vineyards lie between the Adriatic coast and the Sibillini Mountains.
Passerina, Pecorino, Sangiovese and Montepulciano are central to the range. The estate practises organic viticulture.
Ciù Ciù 2024 Merlettaie Offida Pecorino
Italian White
$36.99
Field herbs and hawthorn blossom lead, with a subtle vanilla note from fermentation and six months’ ageing in medium-sized oak. The palate is fresh and savoury, yet softly rounded and enveloping, with Pecorino’s natural power held in balance by a clean, persistent finish. Made from hand-harvested Pecorino grown around Acquaviva Picena and Offida on clay-leaning soils at roughly 280 metres, followed by three months’ bottle refinement.
Ciù Ciù 2024 Oris Falerio
Italian White
$29.99
A bright Marche white with green apple, lemon and white flowers. A faint almond note and fresh, lightly savoury finish make it versatile with seafood or antipasti.
Ciu Ciu 2019 Bacchus Piceno Rosso
Italian Red
$31.99
Ruby with violet highlights, developing warmer tones with age. The nose moves from ripe fruit and flowers toward subtle savoury complexity, while the palate is dry, full and well balanced, with measured tannins and a lightly saline edge. Made from carefully selected Sangiovese and Montepulciano; ideal with pasta ragù, grilled meats or aged cheese.
