February 20, 2023 - Medium ruby in the glass. The nose feels a bit tired on this, not enough fresh fruit to lift things up. Palate is somewhat similar, the alcohol coming out more than the acidity. A simple wine that is starting to decline in quality and interest.

August 5, 2022 - Wow, what a delight it was to drink something different but really satisfying. This reminds me of frappato, sangiovese and nerello mascalese but of course in its own way. What I think I find there that is really unusual is a hint of fresh tomato to go with the cherry, raspberry, licorice and blueberry. Very fresh. Must find more, especially curious about the riserva.

May 22, 2022 - Showing beautifully paired with a leg of lamb. A total charmer with cool-toned red and black fruits, peppery florals and herbs, all excited by brilliant acidity and minerals that linger though the finale. The 2019 is starting to slow down a bit but still showing beautifully.

March 25, 2022 - Something different, and very interesting, from Lazio. A Cesanese di Olevano from the hands of Damiano Ciolli from 35 miles east of Rome, on the volcanic High hills of Olevano Romano.
A stunning wine, with aromas similar to a Pinot from Burgundy, mildly barnyard, strong red fruits, very pale in colour, almost translucent.
Low in tannins, creating an excellent taste, great flavour on the palate, and a good medium plus finish. This wine, the Silene, was sourced through my Italian Wine Club, Roscioli wine club, and I'll definitely be looking out for more, along with their Cirsium made from 80 year old vines. -
