Ceres Anesidora 2016 Lazio Rosso IGP

A red wine from Lazio made by Omina Romana from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes come from volcanic and clay soil and are vinified separately, then mature for about 18-22 months in first-passage French oak barriques before blending and about 18 months in bottle. It is named in homage to the Roman goddess of agriculture. On the nose there are ripe red fruits, currant, blackberry, toasted notes, vanilla, spice and cocoa. On the palate it is balanced and smooth despite its structure, with fine, integrated tannins.
