Casale del Giglio Cesanese 2016
Lazio, ItalyThe last time I had this wine, I was impressed with its soft, juicy, authentic Italian styling, smooth but dry. Cesanese comune is one of many indigenous Italian grapes with low-yielding and spindly bunches, grown primarily in the Lazio region, and rarely seen outside of it. Cinnamon on the nose reappears on the sweet feeling palate, but this time around, the tannins are silky and inviting, adding a bit of flesh but without the grip. Quaffable red plum and cherry fruit grab all the attention mid-palate before a soft, warm peppery finish. The perfect spaghetti red with a bit of class. Bolognese anyone?Tasted: 06 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $23.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
