Monastero Suore Cistercensi, Benedic Lazio Rosso, 2024

Wine made by nuns—and it's delicious. Cistercian sisters have crafted wine at their Lazio monastery since 1963, with consulting help from Giampiero Bea of the legendary Paolo Bea estate. This Sangiovese-Ciliegiolo blend from volcanic soils is light, fresh, and juicy with cherry notes. Low alcohol (11%), naturally made, perfect for pizza night or rustic Italian fare.
