One of our favorite things about Italy is that there is no shortage of wine grapes to try.
In the Lazio region, Casale del Giglio produces wine from the Bellone grape, Anthium, and they believe this one may have Uva Pantastica as its ancestor grape- a varietal that was seemingly praised by Pliny the Elder in the first century.
Grapes with ancient origins, and a new one for our quest to try them all? We're in!
