Cesanese di Olevano Romano (Olevano Romano) DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
The middle Cesanese appellation, and thanks to Damiano Ciolli the one most likely to reach an American glass. Olevano's volcanic and clay soils give a Cesanese with more flesh than Affile and more perfume than Piglio: crushed raspberry, sour cherry, black pepper, dried rose and violet, with juicy acid and fine, slightly chalky tannin. Ciolli's Silene, aged in concrete and old wood, is the reference; Cirsium, from a single old vine parcel, is the serious one.
