Ciliegiolo is a variety of red wine grape from Italy, named after the Italian for 'cherry'.

It is a minor component of traditional blends such as Chianti, but interest has revived in recent years.

A study published in 2007 using DNA typing tentatively identified the Ciliegiolo and Calabrese di Montenuovo as the parents of Sangiovese, but this was immediately disputed by another study published the same year which claimed Ciliegiolo was the offspring of Sangiovese rather than the other way around.

It is used in the wines from Torgiano Rosso Riserva, Parrina, Colli Lucchesi, Chianti, Val di Cornia, Golfo del Tigullio and Colli di Luni.

Ciliegiolo is not an easy grape to grow, suffering at times from shatter.
