2024 Monastero Suore Cistercensi Coenobium Lazio Blanco

A lively expression from the volcanic hills of Vitorchiano, this Coenobium Lazio Blanco brings texture and spirit to the glass. Hand-harvested Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Verdicchio are co-fermented in a natural manner with zero added yeasts and no forced temperature control. The result is buoyant acidity woven with mineral energy, a wine that feels alive yet grounded in old-world terroir. Lithe but substantive, it balances tension and grace without ever leaning into heaviness. This is a wine for curious palates and mindful moments.

Nose: Bright aromas rise first: fennel fronds snap against a backdrop of chamomile and warm almonds. A whisper of tangerine peel teases the senses before the palate arrives.

Palate: The core is vivid and sculpted by volcanic minerality. Crisp green apple threads through savory flourishes of smoke and iron. A layered interplay of texture and clarity keeps every sip engaging.

Finish: The finish resonates with glowing acidity and a gentle dry persistence. There’s lingering salinity and that touch of herbal nuance that invites another taste.

Match this with grilled white fish drizzled in lemon and herbs, roasted fennel with olive oil, or a shaved pecorino salad. Its minerally precision also complements sautéed mushrooms and fresh pasta with sage.
