Monastero Suore Cistercensi

Benedic Red Blend 2019

Unpretentious, easy-drinking blend of Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo by Paolo Bea - benchmark producer of natural wines - and the nuns at the Cistercian monastery in Vitorchiano in Lazio (coenobium is the Latin for monastery). Fermented with wild yeasts. Pale, slightly cloudy cherry color. Red fruit (cherry, strawberry jam) aromas and flavors. Earthy and floral notes and a hint of tobacco and herbs. Fruit-forward, medium bodied, great acidity. Nice rusticity. Very pleasant — 5 years ago

Podere Barbi

Umbria Ciliegiolo 2017

Definitely lives up to the ciliegia in its name 🍒. Bright cherry, raspberry, with saline and mineral and a little graphite. Light tannins and nice, bright acids. Was a little surprised at the fruit in the first taste but it’s still pretty dry and I like it. Good chilled. From Town Center Wines, Eastham. — 6 years ago
