The Story
Monastero Suore Cistercensi Ruscum is a unique and expressive skin-contact white wine from Lazio, crafted by the Cistercian nuns of Vitorchiano. Deep amber in color, it opens with complex aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, honey, wild herbs, and subtle spice. The palate is richly textured and layered, offering flavors of baked apple, citrus zest, and savory herbal notes supported by lively acidity and firm structure from extended skin contact. Distinctive and characterful, it finishes long with mineral, floral, and gently tannic nuances.
Food Pairing: Roasted vegetables, mushroom dishes, grilled poultry, aged cheeses, or Mediterranean cuisine.
