CESANESE: ITALY

+MUST TRY+
Pallavicini Cesanese (by Pallavicini)
Italia: Lazio Cesanese (red)
2005
$9.99
88+ pts
Sold by the glass at Dunlay's; a solid and affordable Italian red wine from Lazio (the region in which Roma is located); good deal by the bottle; a little pricey at Dunlay's by the glass--$9.00. A warm wine, with just a dash of spice.

Terraced vineyards above Monterosso al Mare, Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy, one of the most beautiful places on earth. We've enjoyed the dry white wines native to the region, paired with pesto, a Ligurian specialty.
