The Bosco Cesanese PGI from Rinelli Vigneti

Rinelli Vigneti's Bosco IGP is the most authentic expression of Cesanese di Affile, the red grape variety that typifies these mountains. The vines thrive in predominantly clayey soils, rich in minerals and containing a good percentage of limestone. They are trained primarily using the Guyot and spurred cordon systems on the hillsides of the heroic viticulture system. Harvest is done by hand, from late September to the first ten days of October. In the cellar, the process respects the fruit: maceration on the skins throughout the alcoholic fermentation with daily manual punching down, maturation in stainless steel, and no filtration or fining: Cesanese, just as it is, without masks.
 
 
 

The roots of this Bosco Cesanese PGI are deep in tradition

Cesanese di Affile is one of Lazio's oldest and most noble reds: tradition holds that it was already appreciated by the Roman emperors and that over the centuries it became the favorite wine of popes and cardinals, who served it at their tables from the palaces of Anagni and Subiaco. In Affile, this demanding grape variety has always found its chosen home, so much so that its name has forever been linked to the village. When the mountain vineyards were at risk of abandonment, it seemed that this millennia-old history would end: the revitalization carried out by Rinelli Vigneti has instead given it a new chapter, restoring the "wine of the popes" to its slopes and its dignity.

How to Best Use: Bosco Cesanese PGI

• SUNDAY PASTA WITH SAUCE — Its acidity was born for the tomato: try it with Organic Senatore Cappelli Caserecce seasoned with organic datterino tomato and basil puree: the red fruit of the wine embraces the sauce, the minerality cleanses the palate.
• VEGETABLES THAT CALL FOR RED — With its medium structure and gentle tannins, the Bosco accompanies the vegetal kingdom magnificently: Organic Red Beet sautéed in a pan and Organic Colored Cauliflower roast: a dish that looks like a painting, with the right glass next to it.
• CESANESE RISOTTO — The wine becomes an ingredient: blend the Organic Baldo Rice with a glass of Bosco, combine the Round Red Radicchio into strips and cooked: a purple-colored risotto, to be served with the same wine in the glass.
