Made by Trappist nuns at the Monastero di Vitorchiano in northern Lazio. The nuns planted their first vines in 1963 and have made wine ever since—"Coenobium" means "monastery" in Latin. Giampiero Bea of the legendary Paolo Bea estate in Umbria serves as their consulting winemaker. A field blend of local varieties including Trebbiano and Malvasia, fermented with native yeasts.

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

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. Aged on its fine lees in steel and fiberglass tanks, it is bottled just before the next harvest without fining or filtering. The nose is evocative of autumn on multiple sensory levels, with aromas of fennel fronds, chamomile tea, almonds, and tangerine that lead into a full but delicately rendered palate. Vitorchiano’s volcanic soils come through with a somber smoke-iron interplay, and glowing acidity lets the savory flavors coat the mouth, yet the overall impression is one of freshness and drinkability.
