Tasting Notes: 'Coenobium' is a blend of Trebbiano, Verdicchio, and Malvasia that showcase the power of volcanic soils in Lazio with a notes of smoke and iron with green apple, fennel, and honey. A full bodied wine that displays notable strength and layers; this is Chablis on vacation. --Vincent, Eataly L.A.
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!
