Menzatia Cesanese Lazio IGT 2022 – Italian fruit depth with rare character

Menzatia Cesanese Lazio IGT 2022 is a charming and intense Italian red wine that shows the Cesanese grape at its absolute best. This is a wine with plenty of fruit, silky smooth structure and a distinctly Italian personality – and at a price that makes it a great choice for both everyday enjoyment and fine dining.

Cesanese is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets and is grown almost exclusively in Lazio. That’s why this wine is a rare opportunity to experience something other than the classic Italian grapes. Menzatia has created a wine that elegantly combines ripe fruit, freshness and low alcohol – a red wine that tastes far beyond its price range and has received very high reviews.

The 2022 vintage offers a great balance between sun-ripened fruit and cool elegance. It’s full-bodied without being heavy, soft without losing nerve and incredibly versatile at the table. A safe choice for those who love Italian red wines with both charm and depth.

The history of the house

Menzatia is a family-run winery located in the heart of Lazio, where the Cesanese grape has been cultivated for generations. The area’s warm days and cool nights provide optimal conditions for preserving both fruit intensity and freshness in the wines.

At Menzatia, proud traditions are combined with modern vinification. The work in the fields is done with great respect for nature, and in the cellar the focus is on pure flavors and balance rather than over-extraction.
