Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Grilled skirt steak marinated in pomegranate molasses
  • Lamb, butternut squash, and chickpea tagine with couscous
  • Seared calf's liver with bacon and caramelized onions

Made from 100% Cesanese, a little-known red variety indigenous to Lazio, this linear, focused wine features sweet mixed berries, earthy minerals, and beautifully integrated silky tannins. A very cool, off-the-beaten-path wine.
