"Sapiens" Cesanese del Piglio DOCG 2020

A little gem from central Italy. A DOCG wine produced only in the Lazio region with Cesanese grapes, an indigenous regional grape. A wine much loved by the locals that has had, in the past, unjustly, some difficulty in being appreciated outside the borders of the region. But with time, the improvement of the producers and, above all, thanks to the greater propensity of enthusiasts to go looking for the real peculiarities, today it is finally becoming a justly widespread product. Federici's Sapiens is an organic Cesanese del Piglio DOCG, obtained from a careful and thermo-conditioned processing and with a long maceration of the skins to allow the full extraction of the colour. In the glass, therefore, it is a beautiful, intense and brilliant ruby red. The nose is immediate and clean. It has a clear predominance of floral notes, among which violet is particularly recognizable, and juicy, ripe red fruit. The finish has hints of licorice and light balsamic notes. In the mouth it reveals a good power. It's full-bodied and rich. The tannins are well evident, though ripe, and contribute to making the wine the perfect companion to fine meat dinners.
