Description
A red to charm and delight lovers of characterful Italian reds crafted by Cantine Federici, one of the most respected wineries in Italy’s Roma region.
This small estate in the hills outside Roma garners international acclaim for its range of wines. Today, third-generation winemaker Damiano Federici is at the helm. He has a passion for Cesanese, a grape grown in the region since at least 800BC!
For this wine, he combines the grape with Montepulciano grown in the hills that once supplied stone for the Colosseum. He air-dries a portion of grapes before fermentation to concentrate flavours, then ages the wine for three years to enhance complexity and depth.
The wine brims with Morello cherry, ripe blackberry fruit, has a long, spicy finish, and is perfect with Italian pasta dishes, beef or lamb.
