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

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

Had the 2004 at Osteria Morini. Delicious wine and a great compliment to the meal. — 9 years ago
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.

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. — 5 years ago
