Costa Graia

This is another of the hottest names in Lazio wine and rightly so. Daniele Proietti and his two partners Gianluca Proietti and Gabriele Graia (the two worked together at Tenuta di Trinoro with ultra-talented Andrea Franchetti) have created a jewel that delivers outstanding white, rosato and red wines. The Rosato is especially intriguing as it is made with the ultra rare Cesanese Nostrano variety, a cultivar nobody did anything with of note only five years ago or so. The Bianco wine, made with Passerina is fresh though at times marred by excessive apple cider notes, and the reds, all made with Cesanese d’Affile are simply spectacular (the fact that many of the vines are over 40 years old and a good portion are 80 years old or so doesn’t exactly hurt, of course). You can’t go wrong here with anything you’ll decide to try.
