Omina Romana Janus Geminus I 2015 Lazio Rosso IGP

A red wine from Lazio, made by Omina Romana from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown on volcanic, sandy soils. The varieties are harvested and vinified separately, then matured in barrique for about 18 to 22 months before blending and bottle ageing. Named after the two-faced Roman god Janus, it is a complex wine that combines power and expressive finesse. The colour is an intense ruby. On the nose there are violet, red fruit jam, coffee and cocoa, with a faintly spicy background. The palate is rich and round, with balanced tannin and a long finish. It suits braised meats and aged cheeses.
