Monastero Trappiste Vittorchiano

Coenobium Lazio Bianco Trebbiano Blend 2020

Entry-level white wine from the good sisters of the Monastero Suori Cistercensi in Vitorchiano, under the tutelage of Paolo Bea. Blend of Trebbiano (45%), Malvasia (35%), and Verdicchio (20%) from organically-farmed vines rooted in volcanic soils. Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and about 1 week of skin contact. Rich, ripe, complex nose, with aromas of pear skins, apricot, honey and notes of iron and herbs (fennel). Full-bodied, round, quite concentrated. Lovely chalky/mineral texture — 3 years ago

Benedic Red Blend 2024

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90min. The 2024 “Benedic” pours a bright ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with pretty notes of bright wild cherry, mixed flowers, some dried herbs and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry it’s medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This vintage shows freshness and approachability. Super easy to love. Drink now. — 2 months ago

Maru Salento Negroamaro 2021

Dark ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of dark berry fruit, eucalyptus, garrigue and dried tobacco. Flavors of blackberry, black plum, roasted herbs and coffee. Distinct mineral note on the long and lingering finish. Reasonably smooth tannins, especially for the Negroamaro varietal. Thanks for sharing, Chris B! — 9 months ago
