Cesanese

Cesanese is an ancient red wine grape native to Italy, in the Cesanese Comune area of the Lazio region, around Rome. That area is and remains today the source of almost all Cesanese wines.  Historically, and by its very nature (soil, climate, and the like), the area, since the days of the Roman Empire, has produced a famous variety of excellent wines.
