Lazio

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Latium" Wine offers for "Lazio" in find+buy Show in wein.plus:places

The region (Italian: Lazio) with the capital Rome is located in the centre of Italy at the "knee" of the boot. It stretches for 320 kilometres in the west along the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. All of the other six central regions border on Lazio. Starting from the north, these are Tuscany, Umbria, Marche (only a short stretch), Abruzzo, Molise and Campania. Even in ancient times, there was extensive viticulture and a distinctive wine culture here.

Wines for Rome

The region provided food and drink for the capital of the Roman Empire. In ancient times, full-bodied, amber-coloured, spicy white wines came from here. For many centuries, Rome's poets praised the wines of Lazio, especially the predecessor of Frascati. Wine played an important role at the nearby papal court in the Middle Ages. Pope Paul III (1468-1549) outlawed French wine and had his wine steward Sante Lancerio draw up an overview of the Italian wines of the time. In 2021, two hectares of vines were planted in the papal gardens of the Castel Gandolfo summer residence on the shores of Lake Albano. The resulting wine is used exclusively for the Vatican's own purposes, for example as Mass wine.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
