Nobilterra Castelli Romani Bianco
A little bit of history…
Castelli Romani is definitely Lazio’s most important viticulture area. Many towns around here have a century-old wine-making tradition that has also been fostered by the volcanic origin of the soils, rich in potassium-based salts and phosphorus, and by the perfect climate, heavily affected by the many lakes.

Description
These vines are planted in the hills South of Rome in volcanic soil, where they are mostly spur-trained, exposed to the South and positively affected by the proximity to the sea. The grapes are hand-picked at the end of September; a classic fermentation process in steel tanks gives this wine its smooth and palate-pleasing characteristics.
It is made from a blend of white Malvasia di Candia and green and yellow “Tuscan-Romagnol” Trebbiano di Soave grapes.
Organoleptic Analysis

Food Pairing
This wine pairs with every course, especially with traditional Roman dishes, pasta, fish-based recipes and vegetable risottos.
