The bottle that makes people rethink what Lazio can do: from 60-plus-year-old Cesanese vines at 300 meters, Ju Quarto is the darkest and most structured of La Visciola's single-vineyard bottlings, with a grip that has more in common with Nebbiolo in Barolo than with anything else in central Italy. La Visciola is the small biodynamic estate that Piero Macciocca and Rosa Alessandri built in Piglio, in the hills southeast of Rome, to rescue Cesanese — the native red of Lazio that had nearly been abandoned. The family's vines have been farmed with nothing but copper and sulfur since the 1960s, and biodynamics came in 2005. Ju Quarto ferments on native yeasts and is raised in concrete for at least a year, then bottled unfined and unfiltered. Give it a decant and several hours of air; it is tightly wound in youth and pays back the patience.

More about La Visciola

Piero Macciocca and his wife Rosa started this 4.5-hectare project in Lazio in 2005 to resurrect the Cesanese grape. Now biodynamic-certified, they work a tiny garage winery with real discipline. These wines punch above their weight—serious, mineral-driven, made by people who actually care about forgotten things.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast lamb with rosemary, oxtail alla vaccinara, porchetta, wild boar ragu, or aged pecorino romano.

Tasting Profile

Black cherry, plum, dried herbs and licorice over an earthy, iron-like undertow. Medium- to full-bodied and dry, with firm, fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and a long savory finish.
