This Cesanese wine has a distinct Italian character and should be decanted for an hour before serving. It’s a spicy wine from Lazio that delivers a panoply of savory nuances. The bouquet has aromas of salted plum, cherry, cedar and a whiff of light smoke. Flavors include plum, cranberry, black tea and cocoa.
Plum, cedar, cranberry, black tea, cocoa.
Lazio is comprised of diverse growing regions. Just outside of Rome, the fertile volcanic foothills of the Castelli Romani—where emperors and popes went to escape summer’s heat—is famous for Frascati white wines. East of Rome are the esoteric hills of Piglio, known for the native red Cesanese grape. They only achieved DOCG status in 2008. This Colle Forma is Giovanni Terenzi’s purest creation—Cesanese made in the traditional style with a hint of wood from blending in some of his top cru, which is aged in barriques. Terenzi has a distinguished history in the region, and its owner, Giovanni, is a leading agricultural figure.
For a superb pairing, create an antipasto platter with artisanal salumi and marinated crudités. The wine’s acidity will cut nicely through roasted and preserved peppers and mushrooms. Main dishes of veal, pork, game or beef will offset the wine’s young tannins. This blend carries enough natural acidity to pair well with tomatoes, so the flavors of slow-cooked ragus, braised meats with tomatoes and classic pasta Bolognese will all shine when paired with this wine.
Cesanese (chae-sah-NAE-sae), reputed to be a favorite of the Roman Caesars, is the only red grape indigenous to Lazio.
