Tenimenti Leone, Lazio IGP (Italy) Cesanese 2021

Mar 8, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 Tenimenti Leone’s Tera de Leone is a beautiful expression of Lazio’s beloved Cesanese grape.  The 2021 offers a mid-weight palate that is bright and lifted with generous layers of wild cherry, redcurrant, plum and a light touch of spice that complements the long, crafted finish.  The vibrant acidity of the wine makes it a perfect partner for ragu or pizza.  This is a truly distinctive wine within its price range.
