Ancient Roman Wines Rediscovered in the Sabine Hills, near Rome

The Sabine Hills (Sabina), a relatively unknown, yet very beautiful country area just north of Rome, wine (as well as olive oil) has been produced for millennia and greatly appreciated in ancient Rome. The River Tiber, which eventually reaches the Capital, provides the perfect soil composition for wine making. 
Today, a small number of boutique wineries have emerged, thanks to the passion and creativity of their owners. Some grapes that are grown here may be unusual, but they are the result of a process which involves reviving ancient traditional Italian varieties.

To read more, please read Guido Santi's full article on the Sabine Wines written for goitaly and About.com 'Rome Wines in the Sabine Hills of Northern Lazio



Convivio Rome Half Day Rome Wine Tours are conducted all year round.
