Villa Alessia Lazio Rosso
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 in the first decade of October; a classic fermentation process in steel tanks gives this wine its smooth and palate-pleasing characteristics.
It is made from a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes.
Organoleptic Analysis
Intense ruby red with a purple hue; a winey, lingering and rather fruit-forward bouquet. A soft, harmonious and lingering taste. Excellent minerality. Palate-pleasing.
Food Pairing
It pairs well with every course, especially with traditional Roman recipes like “amatriciana”, roast meat, and wild game and cured meat.
