Donna Lucilla Roma Rosso 2022
91 Points, James Suckling
This is the ultimate pizza wine. A 91-point red from the Roma DOC – yep, from Rome itself – that brings everything you could possibly want to the dinner table. There’s so much energy to match the dark, savory fruit with chalky tannins and a smooth, memorable finish. It’s a rich, luscious blend made from Montepulciano and Cesanese, two indigenous Roman grapes grown in volcanic soils that encircle the Eternal City. Italian wine expert James Suckling gave it 91 points and hit the nail on the head when he dubbed this: “Juicy with well-crafted tannins that bring a chalky feel and steady tension at the end.”
Original price was: $22.00.$15.00Current price is: $15.00.

91 Points, James Suckling
“The dark-fruited and savory nose offers meat, dusty earth and a hint of leather. Medium- to full-bodied and juicy, with well-crafted tannins that bring a chalky feel and steady tension at the end. Montepulciano and Cesanese. Drink now. Screw cap.”
Donna Lucilla is a Roman winery with an incredible history. They only make two wines, a Rosso and a Blanco, that are both sourced from vineyards that encircle the ancient city of Rome.
If you’re wondering what makes this wine so special, consider Rome itself. One of the world’s most important ancient cities with an incredible history of everything, including agriculture. The Roma DOC sits on ancient volcanic soils that have been producing wine since before the Roman Empire. Let that sink in for a second! These aren’t just any vineyards—they’re literally grown in the same volcanic earth that fed emperors and gladiators for centuries.
