Tasting Notes: The Benedict rosso is made in tiny quantities from equal parts Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo. Very pale red, this ethereal wine coats the palate with hints of red fruit, tea, pipe tobacco and no tannins. Low in alcohol and incredibly crushable, this red loves a light chill and is versatile, working with antipasti, seafood or pizza night.
Estate History: The "nun wine"! The Sisters of the Cistercian order in Lazio have been growing grapes on the monastery grounds since the 1990s, but their wines became even more special when winemaker Paolo Bea started advising them in the early 2000s. The wines have been naturally made with organic grapes, indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtering, a truly holistic experience!
