How Cesanese grape can hold the wood
Still prefer the unwooded Silene still crafted by Damiano
I guess i just rather enjoy the youth in this grape too..so far at least

Dig it. Unfolds another layer with each sip, really compliments Posey knocking Blanco in for the second insurance run.

Lighter body than I expected but this wine shines and is super well balanced. A great acidic food wine. Perhaps I'm projecting but it seemed to do something magical with the Roman dishes we ate with it like that fried artichoke jam. Also sung with housemade mortadella. Seemed to benefit from some air.
