The Cesanese is an indigenous red grape of Lazio, which has always been cultivated in the territory but has only been rediscovered qualitatively in recent years. In the case in Cesanese Imperatori, the Affile clone is used, pleasant and persuasive.
The cellar Imperatori is located in an area south of Rome, with a strong wine vocation, where the vine has been flourishing for thousands of years. The winery is young but the objectives are ambitious: to produce wines that can interpret, in a different key, the area where the company is rooted, and the rediscovery of varieties grown in the Roman countryside before the phylloxer crisis and interpreted in a modern way.
At the sight it shows an impenetrable ruby red, tending to garnet with aging; on the nose intense, ample, with floral and fruity notes, characteristics of this vine, on the harmonic palate, elegant with good structure.
