CESANESE

An indigenous variety widely grown in Latium viticulture. Historically, it found its greatest expansion between the provinces of Rome and Frosinone, becoming the protagonist of many DOC wines and the first DOCG recognised at regional level.
HARVEST
From mid-October onwards, harvested by hand in small crates.
VINIFICATION Maceration at a controlled temperature of 25° lasts for about a week at the same time as the alcoholic fermentation. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing in steel and wood of various types and origins.
ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS AND PAIRING
Ruby red colour with garnet veins. The bouquet is intense and elegant, reminiscent of plum and black cherry preserves, black spices and tobacco. In the mouth it is soft, structured with a present but elegant tannin. Ideal on red meats, grilled meats and medium-aged cheeses. Recommended serving temperature 16°/18°.

Tradition, dedication and passion for Frascati since 1982

The winery has a family tradition that began in the Marche region and continued in the Frascati area when in 1982 Piero Costantini bought the vineyards in Monte Porzio Catone that once belonged to Cardinal Pallotta with the intention of producing a prestigious wine.

Today, the estate is owned by Lorenzo Costantini, a renowned oenologist and lover of the wines of Lazio. Lorenzo believes in Frascati and in its great potential, he believes that the soil of the Castelli makes the wines produced in this area unique and that the climate favours the perfect ripening of the grapes; the pedoclimatic vocation finds its maximum expression in the cultivation of the autochthonous variety par excellence: the Malvasia Puntinata (or of Lazio), it is our intention therefore to create a Frascati with 80% of Malvasia del Lazio to give life to a unique and typical wine of the territory.

The Villa Simone winery is also committed to respecting the environment, reducing the consumption of water, energy and pesticides to a minimum with the help of advanced equipment and technology.

If you have a great territory, it is only a matter of will and commitment to make wines of excellence.
