RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Cesanese Comune (more commonly known as just Cesanese) is a red Italian wine grape variety that is grown primarily in the Lazio region. Cesanese di Affile appears to be a distinct sub-variety of Cesanese Comune unique to the commune of Affile. There are noticeable differences between Cesanese Comune and the grapes found in Cesanese di Affile, including the size of the grape berry itself. The sub-variety Cesanese d'Affile is considered to be of superior quality of Cesanese Comune.

Traditionally Cesanese was used to make sweet red wines that ranged from slightly sparkling frizzante to fully sparkling spumante styles. In the late 20th century more winemakers began making dry still wines from the grape variety. Wines made Cesanese are described as light bodied and soft, often recommended to be enjoyed soon after release.
