2022 Palazzo Tronconi Frusinate Arra-Iete Rosso

Arra-Iete 2022 bottles Ceccano’s volcanic slopes in a rush of ruby brightness. Each dawn-picked Lecinaro cluster ferments whole in open oak vats, native yeasts fizzing through carbonic lift and carbon-free zeal. Winter ageing in large neutral barrels polishes tannins yet guards vibrant fruit. Dark cherry, pomegranate, and rosehip weave with thyme and basalt dust, while brisk acidity keeps the palate racing. Zero fining, filtering, or sulfur—just Lazio’s ancient heartbeat poured into a glass that disappears faster than an August sunset.

Nose: Wild cherry, rose petal, and crushed oregano over warm volcanic stone.

Palate: Tart cranberry, red plum, and white-pepper spice glide on feather-soft tannins and lively acidity.

Finish: Bright, dry close echoes berry skin, savory herb, and cool mineral snap.

Equally happy with rustic meats, earthy vegetables, and aged cheese; try it alongside rosemary-grilled sausages, porcini polenta, or pecorino drizzled with truffle honey to watch the wine’s crunchy fruit and herbal zip shine.
