2023 Federici Roma DOC Rosso
A bold, velvety tribute to the Eternal City—crafted from volcanic hills just outside Rome.
Rediscover Central Italy’s historic winemaking heritage with the 2023 Roma DOC Rosso from Azienda Vinicola Federici. Sourced from mineral-rich volcanic tuff soils in Zagarolo, this cuvée combines the deep fruit power of Montepulciano with the indigenous elegance and wild herbal character of Lazio’s signature grape, Cesanese. The result is a lush, Mediterranean red that balances generous dark fruit with vibrant freshness and silky structure.
Tasting Profile
-
In the Glass: Deep ruby red with shimmering violet reflections.
-
On the Nose: Expressive and layered aromas of ripe Morello cherries, dark plums, and crushed blackberries, accented by wild Mediterranean herbs, sweet licorice, and warm baking spices.
-
On the Palate: Generous and round, delivering juicy layers of black cherry and currant supported by polished, cocoa-dusted tannins. Vibrant acidity cuts through the richness, carrying through to a long, savory finish framed by hints of dried thyme and cracked pepper.
Perfect Pairings
The quintessential partner for hearty Italian comfort fare:
-
Roman Classics: Bucatini all’Amatriciana, Porchetta di Ariccia, or rigatoni with rich lamb ragù.
-
Grilled & Roasted Meats: Charcoal-grilled ribeye, Rosemary-crusted rack of lamb, or fennel sausages.
-
Cheeses: Medium-to-aged Pecorino Romano, Taleggio, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
