Wine Description:
Casale del Giglio Cesanese Lazio Rosso is still dry red wine with a supple structure and a sour cherry and rose flavor profile intended for drinking over the medium term. The wine is made in the Laizo region of Italy, which surrounds Rome. The wine is made using the native Casanese grape, a late ripening variety that needs abundant sunshine to rully ripen. The steep local hillsides of the rive valley provide sufficient sun exposure for this to occur. The winemaking involves careful tannin extraction and the avoidance of new oak which would overwhelm the gentle aromatics. This is a good alternative to Gamay or Beaujolais and a must try for drinkers who enjoy rediscovering lost grapes.
Pros:
  • Perfumed sour cherry and rose petal aroma profile

Cons:
