A grape variety cited by Pliny the Elder and present in the Latium region since Roman times.
Deep yellow flecked with gold. The wine evokes sunshine and ripe tropical fruit such as mango and papaya, carefully balanced by a marked acidity which makes it suitable for
long bottle ageing. Rich, ample and lingering on the palate with light floral and spicy notes.
The Bellone grape is vigorous and resistant to drought – a guarantee for wine quality and balance. The grapes are harvested at the end of September. Vinification takes place in two stages: first, maceration on the skins to encourage extraction of the aromas bestowed by the territory then, after soft pressing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts for around 10-12 days at 18-20°C.
Pairing – “Minestra di Sgavajone”: a typical soup from the fishermen of Anzio made with ‘sgavajone’ a local fish rarely found outside their family homes.
