Compagnia di Ermes Cesanese

To say “a great wine from Lazio” is usually a misnomer. Italy’s greatest city, Roma, may be the center of the Ancient world, but the wines have historically left a lot to be desired. Not anymore. Cesanese, Lazio’s most important grape, is thriving in the hands of Mariano Mampieri, a Roman who believes it can be the “pinot noir” of central Italy. And we think he’s on to something. Spicy peppers, bright pomegranate and currant notes, and fig essence are the hallmark characteristics of Cesanese.
