Joe Canal's is excited to announce the arrival of Cantine Volpetti Campo Alle Rose Cesanese Del Lazio!The Cantine Volpetti winemakers are situated in the heart of the Colli Albani vineyards which lie on the gentle slopes of the volcanic hills in the south of Rome. Wine production in this area dates back to the Roman Empire , as reported by Catone and Orazio. It is since 1958 that the Volpetti family is involved in the making of its own wines and the quest for quality wines has produced not only excellent Malvasia del Lazio, Cesanese and Trebbiano from autochthonous grapes but also Sangiovese and Montepulciano from domestic grapes and Syrah and Chardonnay from international grapes, which grow well in this volcanic soil. Today their products represent a blend of vineyards and territory which characterizes its image of elegance and prestige in a mixture of tradition and innovation in the art of wine making.
100% Cesanese Del Lazio (also known, simply, as "Cesanese") A delightful new treasure from the hills just south of Rome; this local variety produces a ruby red with round tannins and rich flavors. 50% of the juice is aged in small barrels, yielding additional layers of light smoke and oak to the spicy fruit. Very full bodied, mouth filling cherry and berry elements linger in the long persistent finish. Ideal accompaniment to grilled red meats.
