Monastero Suore Cistercensi Ruscum

Monastero Suore Cistercensi Ruscum is a distinctive skin-contact white wine crafted by the Cistercian nuns of Vitorchiano in Lazio. Deep golden to amber in color, it opens with complex aromas of apricot jam, pear pulp, grapefruit rind, white pepper, wildflowers, and flinty mineral notes. The palate is richly textured and mouth-filling, offering layers of baked apple, citrus peel, herbs, and savory spice balanced by vibrant acidity and volcanic minerality. Extended skin contact adds depth and structure, leading to a long, complex finish marked by floral, citrus, and mineral nuances.

Food Pairing: Seafood risotto, grilled vegetables, roasted chicken, aged cheeses, Mediterranean cuisine, or mushroom-based dishes.
