Cantine Riccardi Reale, Collepazzo, Cesanese di Olevano Romano, Lazio 2019

Cesanese is Lazio’s oldest indigenous red grape, completely unrelated to any other Italian variety - an utterly unique, mysterious little treasure that is carefully preserved in Italy. In 2010, seven-hectare Cantine Riccardi Reali was set up by a husband-and-wife team passionate about wine, organically managed using biodynamic techniques. From Colle Pazzo, at 300m on volcanic and sandstone soil, comes this multifaceted wine, fusing dynamism and fullness.
