Monastero Suore Cistercensi
Coenobium Ruscum Lazio Bianco Trebbiano Blend
Rating this on an “orange wine” scale - much more closed and mineral than the generous style of other orange wines. Fun change up.

Sep 13th, 2021Baby Orange wine with an intriguing story! Apricots, white flowers, chamomile & appropriately a bit of orange rind! went perfectly with local grouper, faro, and roasted cauliflower!

Nov 8th, 2017Opens with orange peel and white pepper, cider, tea, all sorts of florals. Oxidative, tart and perfumed. Perfect trifecta in this beautiful amber wine.
Day two it is more prominently mineral, more lemon-focused citrus, and showing an aroma of brown bread. Really quite wonderful.

Trebbiano, Malvasia, Verdicchio, Grechetto. On lees for more than two weeks. Amber color, pronounced minerality, brine, dried apricot, honey, candied lime, bright tropical fruits, white pepper, earl grey tea, and acacia. Bone dry, med+ acid to balance the phenolic bitterness.

Only 11% abv but the phenolics, tannin and lees contact give plenty of weight without sacrificing the fresh acidity. Magnified the flavors of an orange and fennel salad, and absorbed the richness of tuna belly crostini.
