Monastero Cistercensi "Coenobium" 2024 Lazio, Italy

Made by nuns! “Coenobium” is a blend of Trebbiano, Verdicchio, and Malvasia, harvested together and co-fermented without added yeasts or temperature stabilization. It is aged on the fine lees in steel and fiberglass tanks, and bottled before the next harvest without fining or filtering. The nose is fresh without being bright, with an underlying gentleness; aromas of fennel fronds, chamomile tea, fresh almonds, and tangerine lead into a full but delicately rendered palate. Glowing acidity lets the slightly savory flavors ring out.
