The wine region of Lazio, situated in the heart of Italy, is a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts, boasting a rich winemaking history that dates back to the Etruscan and Roman times. Bathed in a Mediterranean climate, it offers a unique terroir thanks to its volcanic soils and the proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, which enhance the production of wines with distinctive freshness and minerality. Lazio is primarily renowned for its white wines, notably those from the native variety Malvasia del Lazio, which impart delicate floral and fruity aromas. While less known, the reds also deserve attention with grape varieties like Cesanese, offering spicy notes and good structure.
