Solonio

 
 
 
At the time of Imperial Rome, the Colli Lanuvini area produced wines that graced celebrated banquets held by Roman patricians. It was precisely the Romans who exported the culture of wine-making to their colonies which fostered the creation all the enological varieties we enjoy today. From this point of view, the hills just south of Rome can be considered the enological cradle of the Old World! Solonio, a wine producing company belonging to the Le Tenute di Genagricola Group, has taken this inheritance and revitalized it with passion, valorizing several exceptional native vines and other international varieties capable of offering unique emotions, especially because this wines’ value is combined with history’s intriguing charm.

Lazio

Lazio reagion is a famous tourist spot and centered round Rome. The proximity of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west plays an important role as the cool sea breezes temper the drier and warmer temperatures on the coast, whilst the mountainous area is subject to various macroclimates;despite being protected by the Apennines from the cold winds coming from the northeast. Nourishment for the grapes is provided by the lava and tufa soils that are rich in potassium. This type of soil is particularly suited to white grapes as it ensures a good balance of acidity.
