Defined by many as a white wine with the body of a red, Albagìa, DOC Roma, is made from selected pure Malvasia Puntinata grapes. The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in Monte Compatri, in the province of Rome. After harvesting, the grapes, which have reached a perfect degree of ripeness, are brought to the winery for processing. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature and, at the end of this phase, the wine is left to age on its own noble lees for at least 60 days, to enhance its complexity and improve its longevity. In the glass, Albagìa immediately stands out for its brilliant straw yellow colour, enhanced by golden streaks. Very persistent, both on the nose and in the mouth, it first strikes you with fruity and floral notes that slowly evolve to reveal balsamic aromas, finally closing with hints of honey and bitter almond, typical of the variety. Seafood, fish and shellfish are its natural accompaniment.
Chiara and Lorenzo Iacoponi are two siblings who grew up with bread and... "Castelli Romani". To be precise, they grew up in Monte Compatri among the hills, on the slopes of the Latium volcano, where their grandfather passed on to them a passion for nature and the vineyard. And it was here, in 2017, that they set up a winery, Cantine Eredi dei Papi, with the aim of producing top quality wines "made in Lazio". To do so, they base their activity on a simple golden rule: "wine is made in the vineyard". For this reason, from the very first years of activity, the two brothers have implemented a strict conversion of the vineyards from spurred cordon to guyot, with native vines planted over 20 years ago by their grandfather. The concept of terroir is a prerogative inseparable from the identity of the company, which, aware of the potential of the Lazio region, aims to become its ambassador on a national and international level.
