Lazio was first inhabited by the Etruscans and then by the Latins and Romans. Lazio was always a wine producing region and borders with other historically important Italian wine regions - Tuscany (North), Campania (South), Umbria and Abruzzo (East).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Romans and the Roman Empire as a political and cultural entity had the biggest impact on the development of the region: trade, agriculture, technology, and also winemaking, where deeply influenced by the capital, Rome, known as \"Caput Mundi\" - the capital of the world. Falernian wine, the most famous wine of ancient Rome and perhaps ancient times, was produced from Aglianico grapes grown the border of Lazio and Campania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, after the Barbaric invasions and the fall of the Roman Empire, the region went through several centuries of underdevelopment and winemaking stopped being a central part of everyday life. After the unification of Italy, in 1961, when Rome became the capital of the newly formed nation state, winemaking was rediscovered in an attempt to reestablish the glory of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d751314.2326003648!2d11.293517311438533!3d42.64394987916884!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x132925d066666fcd%3A0x3ae7e0f440ef792a!2sAzienda+Agricola+LE+COSTE!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1543600298970\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" style=\"border: 0;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Terroir of Lazio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLazio is a hilly region - Rome is famously built on the \"Seven Hills of Rome\". These are mostly hills of volcanic origin, which is an ideal characteristic for winemaking as we have seen for other wine regions - Soave, Etna, Taurasi, Sannio among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolcanic soils tend to be very well-drained and rich in nutrients such as potassium. In a similar way to the soils of Soave and Sannio, Lazio volcanic soils are conducive to growing excellent white grapes. Winds and cool breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea, Lazio has a long coastline to the West, also play a factor in the region's viticulture, which benefits from relatively mild temperatures and good aeration and is protected to the East by the Apennines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe White Wines of Lazio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrebbiano and Malvasia di Candia are the local heroes, usually vinified in a style that prefers roundness and a certain chewiness combined with an off-dry profile. Nowadays things are somewhat different, also thanks to a plethora of natural winemakers who are embracing Lazio's indigenous varietals but are adopting a different winemaking approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLazio's white wines are crisp, light, refreshing and low in alcohol, meant to be drunk young. Acidity is the main element, and winemakers have learned how to capitalize on Lazio's grapes high and yet well balanced natural acidity. Le Coste di Gradoli is one of the best examples of this natural renaissance, which also reinterpreted the ancient skin contact technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the most popular whites are Frascati, Orvieto, Est!
