Prime areas for the cultivation of Cesanese are around the hill towns of Affile and Piglio. Deep ruby red. Intense aromas of marasca cherry, typical of late varieties, followed by spicy notes of white pepper, black pepper and violet. The mouthfeel is soft, with persistent tannins and pronounced acidity, essential criteria for long ageing. Cesanese is a low yield, late-ripening variety which lends itself to late harvesting. The harvest does not take place until late October as the vineyards are situated on relatively high, hilly slopes.
