O wow. I never expected this elegance & depth in a wine from Rome.
Like a v. good Nebbiolo with a touch of southern flair.
Beautiful purity of dark cherry fruit with a touch of southern warmth. Pomegranate? Blood orange? A hint of wilted flowers and some dried herbs. After some time a bit of baked plum and a pinch of spices.
Fine & very enticing. With some warmth yet fresh.
On the palate, this has lightness. No rusticity at all - the finesse & quality of tannins is very Roagna’esque. Beautiful acidity and great depth. Seamless & highly drinkable. What a delight! — 8 months ago
Eye opening Cesanese from 2016. Full bodied with burnished plum notes and silky tannins. — 4 years ago
First bottling for this Cesanese del Piglio producer, and it’s very interesting. Still young and a bit harsh on the tannins, but the style is lean and elegant. Not a typical Cesanese. Notes of Dolcetto-like dark fruit, crossed with floral Nebbiolo elements. — 5 years ago
Loads of fresh fruit, acid and funky farm stylings. Loved it. — 6 years ago
