Anagni With your hands

Cesanese winery visit near Anagni

Anagni

Cesanese is the red of this corner of Ciociaria, and Anagni is the papal town looking down on it. The estate pours its own and sells it at the door, so a bottle can leave with you.

How the day goes

  1. The tasting on the estate, with Cesanese del Piglio DOCG as the whole point of it.
  2. Bottles bought straight from the producer if one of them convinces you; cards work here.
  3. Anagni afterwards, medieval and up on its ridge, worth the climb into it.

English is spoken here, and the talking is done by people who farm the grapes: come for that rather than for a big cellar and a show.
