Latium Morini

Monastero Suore Cistercensi

Coenobium Lazio Bianco Trebbiano Blend 2018

The wines of Coenobium are made by a sisterhood of nuns from the Latium region of Italy close to Rome. They make two wines. Both varying degrees of Orange. That’s it.
The Bianco is barely Orange, with a Corona appropriate level of skin contact (barely any).
I’d lump these into the OG category of Natural Wines - they see consulting from the god of Italian Orange, Mr. Bea.
Pours hay with notes of apples and white flowers and salty peachy flavors.

Caldera Lazio Rosso Grechetto Rosso 2014

This takes a few minutes to come alive, so patience is rewarded. The nose shows deep earthy aromatics with a powerful herbal note. This opens up as a pretty straightforward medium bodied, balanced wine. A good mix of red fruit, spicy/earthy savoriness & noticeable acidity. The tannins seemed to "wake up" over dinner & this added a textural component which enhanced the detail & depth in the fruit. Ripe red berries emerged with that beautiful grip. This finished with a return to those savory notes & the wine seemed made for our chanterelle & leek risotto. — 9 years ago

Campo Prognài Valpolicella Superiore Corvina Blend 2015

With grilled salmon, quinoa-low tannin red with a love letter to dark red & black cherries, deeper notes & very fresh. Jan D’Amore importer, whose choices never fail me. The low ratings are mysterious to me. — 7 years ago

A fine wine with food, though a bit of a one-note song.

First Cesanese and it was surprisingly good. Never expect much good wine out of Latium, but this changed my opinion. Worked perfectly with homemade mushroom and ham pizza. — 9 years ago

Costa Graia

Superiore Piglio Red Blend 2013

Fantastic purity, the mouthfeel and aromas make me think it has a teeny bit of carbonic. This is a Lazio wine from vineyards south of Rome made from the Cesanese grape and puts fourth a wine here that is part Burgundy, part Gigondas, but very Italian in acids. Bright red raspberry and currant fruits, licorice, mushroom and spice.
