2016 Casale del Giglio Campo Novo, Cesanese del Piglio DOCG (WAS $19.99)

Here's a fun wine for those who share a passion and a curiosity for Italian indigenous grapes. Cesanese is indeed a protagonist of winemaking in Italy's central Lazio region. The 2016 Cesanese opens to a dark appearance, thick color and soft tannins. The bouquet emits informal pulses of black cherry, coffee and spice. This is a simple wine, but it's one that would pair with a wide range of home-cooked meals.
