Cesanese del Piglio 5Dodici 2018 by Marco Falcone is the evolution of I Primi Cinque. This red wine is macerated and aged longer in amphora, giving it greater complexity.
The nose is intoxicating, with scents of dried red flowers, berry jam, chocolate, tobacco, licorice, and hints of undergrowth.
On the palate, it stands out for its extremely smooth drinkability, a surprising tannin, and a sip that is welcoming, full, and long.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 16°-18°C. Perfect paired with aged pecorino, this wine is compulsively drinkable, inviting you to keep drinking.

Marco is a man of many facets, truly surprising. Of Calabrian origins but a Roman by adoption, he is an unexpected kind of winemaker—for many reasons.
We first met him in the heart of Rome, and as we were tasting his incredible Cesanese wines, a Senator of the Republic suddenly recognized him and struck up a conversation. With infinite modesty, Marco had never mentioned that he was an esteemed researcher at the University of Pisa, specializing in infectious diseases.
His life unfolds between the university laboratories and his beloved vineyards, which he cultivates strictly according to organic farming principles. His estate covers just under three hectares, with a slightly higher-than-average planting density, in line with his winery’s philosophy. Once again, he challenges common assumptions. He employs Spanish and Tuscan amphorae for aging.
His Cesanese del Piglio wines are not opulent but incredibly drinkable, delicious, and natural. Cantina Falcone avoids the use of any chemical agents in the vineyard, even when abstaining presents significant production risks. There are no shortcuts in the cellar either—his wines stand out for their minimal sulfur content, around 10 mg per liter.
