Cincinnato 'Argeo'- Cesanese

This 2022 Cesanese red wine hails from Veneto, Italy. Cincinnato, a winery founded in 1947 by local farmers as a cooperative, now involves over 100 winegrowers across more than 500 hectares. In the past 70 years, they've done a great job of reviving native grape varietals like Nero Buono, Bellone, Cesanese, and Greco. This wine is crafted from the ancient Cesanese grape. Once used for sweet and sparkling wines, it now produces fruity and fresh ones. Grown in volcanic soils, it offers tasting notes of pomegranate and blood orange, with a hint of graphite and herbs. It's a food - friendly wine that pairs perfectly with meatball flatbread or roasted venison.

To enjoy this Cincinnato 'Argeo' Cesanese wine, simply open the bottle and let it breathe for about 15 - 30 minutes before pouring. You can serve it at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 64°F. It's best paired with meat dishes like meatball flatbread or roasted venison, but you can also experiment with other savory foods. When storing, keep the bottle in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Once opened, finish the wine within 2 - 3 days and store it in the refrigerator with a cork.
