Lazio At a Glance

Lazio is a region in central Italy, and home to the ancient capital city of Rome. The region’s reputation is mainly based on its white wines, the mainstay grape varieties being Trebbiano, Malvasia di Candia and Malvasia Puntinata.
Score: 89Vintage 2019Vinous MediaCrushed apples, brown spices and dusty dried florals create a rich and inviting display on the 2019 Frascati Superiore Poggio Verde. It’s silky-smooth and pliant, almost glycerol-like in feel, with notes of ripe pear and hints of peach motivated by brisk acidity. This tapers off a bit short yet fresh and with a hint of sour green citrus that keeps the mouth watering for more. The Poggio Verde is a blend of 50% Malvasia di Candia, 20% Malvasia del Lazio and a 30% mix of Greco, Grechetto and Trebbiano Toscano.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2017Wine EnthusiastA blend of Malvasia Puntinata, Greco and Bombino, this offers aromas of white spring flower, lemon zest and tropical fruit. The lively palate offers Granny Smith apple, grapefruit and yellow peach alongside bright acidity. KERIN O’KEEFEShelf TalkerFull Page Review
