Cerveteri DOC
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
A coastal DOC over the Etruscan necropolis country, dominated by the Cantina Cerveteri cooperative. The reds are Sangiovese and Montepulciano blends, medium bodied with cherry, plum and a dusty, earthy finish; the whites are soft Trebbiano and Malvasia. Casale Cento Corvi is the one estate doing careful work, though its best wine, the rescued local grape Giacchè, goes under IGT.
Still hunting
I'm still looking for a bottle of this.
If you make Cerveteri, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.
