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! — 3 days ago

Big cherries and slight alcohol on the nose that comes off as flowers on the palate, then, with air, the nose opens to figs, plums, blackberries, brown sugar. The cherries are super sweet, and there's light spice, fennel, nutmeg, and light leather on the palate, and a cherry skin or overripe fruit, barnyardy-savory bitter edge on the finish that I am very happy about. Some mouth-coating tannins on here, which soften, but certainly do not go away, the tannins give it structure the way that minerals do elsewhere. I don't think they take from this nimble wine, and they give it a character of its own: rustic and highly fragrant. — 5 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. — 4 years ago
