About this product

A Bold Expression of Ancient Lazio, Rooted in History.
Cincinnato “Argeo” Cesanese is a wine that carries the soul of Lazio’s volcanic hills in every drop. Born from carefully tended Cesanese grapes, this red evokes the sun-drenched slopes, the whispering Mediterranean winds, and the mineral-rich soils that give the region its distinct character.

In the glass, it shimmers with deep ruby tones. Aromas of wild black cherry, plum, and forest berries mingle with whispers of Mediterranean herbs, warm spices, and a faint touch of graphite. On the palate, it is expressive and layered — velvety tannins embrace the vibrant fruit, while a mineral undercurrent and subtle earthy notes linger gracefully on the finish. Each sip is a journey through Lazio’s landscape, a taste of its history, and a reminder of the artistry behind every vine.

For Irish wine lovers seeking a red that is both approachable and profound, Argeo offers a sensory escape — perfect for pairing with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or quiet evenings where the wine itself becomes the centerpiece of reflection and pleasure.

Why we love it:
Cesanese is one of Italy’s most characterful red grapes, and Argeo delivers its rustic charm with refinement. Dark berries, spice, and soft tannins make this an irresistible alternative to the usual suspects — perfect for Irish wine lovers craving something genuinely different and rooted in place.
