Raphael Vino Rosso 2024

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. No formal notes due to the setting. This bottle of the 2024 “Raphael” is certainly a more wild expression of Cesanese del Piglio. It’s bright and fresh with good structure and worked well with both the Rigatoni alla Carbonara and Romanesco. I can dig it. Drink now. — 4 days ago

@Ceccherini Cristiano previous to this bottle, my only other experience from Lazio are the Monastro Suore Cistercensi wines

@Jay Kline that is quite a unique wine too. You should trust more Lazio lately we have been doing great stuff. In the past all the production was meant for Rome and there was no attention to quality or distinction; the big city would just take anything, but recently with the new generations and with the easiness of moving goods around Lazio has understood the lesson. Ciociaria and Alto Lazio are great wine regions. If you can get hold of the Habemus i highly recommend (not indigenous grapes though) and for a Cesanese look for La Visciola(don't age it nore than 2-3 years though.

Raphaël Passerina del Frusinate 2021

A very unique wine.
The mineral that this wine gives away it is not common at all.
5 years of age and i would not age it any further, but definitely in a fantastic spot.
It express ginger, lowquat and an amazing quantity of salinity.
Very long and enjoyable.
I never thought a Passerina could come out like this. Once talking to Maria Ernesta Berucci she admitted the 2021 was special
