Monastero Suore Cistercensi 'Coenobium - Ruscum' 2024 Bianco Lazio IGP

750ml bottle

11.5% abv

Crunchy apricots, spice cake, musk, and broth. The tannins are present but courteous, supporting rather than dominating the wine, and offering great versatility at the table.

An alternate lens into the nuns’ terroir, Ruscum comes from the same vineyards and the same harvest as Coenobium, but its juice spends two weeks in contact with the skins. If Coenobium is a wine of autumn, then Ruscum is its winter sibling—always richer and more substantial.

The famed nun wine! Here at this quiet religious outpost in the Lazio, eighty women of this religious order work vineyards, orchards and gardens organically. Produced in an entirely natural manner under the guidance of Giampiero Bea, the Coenobium is a blend of Trebbiano, Verdicchio, and Malvasia, harvested together and co-fermented without added yeasts or temperature stabilization.
