Cesanese del Piglio is a red wine from a defined area of Frosinone province.
The foothills of the Ernici provide a setting for two Cesanese varieties.
Cesanese di Affile and Cesanese Comune, alone or together, form the principal grape base of Cesanese del Piglio. The area’s red soils developed from limestone terrain associated with the Ernici mountains. Iron and aluminum oxides contribute to their dark red color, while clay and silt give varying textures. This hill territory places the wine in a specific part of inland Lazio.
The grape zone includes all of Piglio and Serrone and defined parts of Acuto, Anagni and Paliano, in Frosinone province.
