Held in the Citta del Gusto, the 2011 Rome wine festival takes place on the 7th and 8th of May
A professional event for wine producers, buyers and reviewers alike the Roma wine festival event is also open to the general public and offers an opportunity discover to more about Italian wine and talk to the experts.
Although the Lazio region is not a prolific producer of Italian wine it does have some special white wines including Est di Montefiascone and Frascati. Frascati is a delicious white wine founded on Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes, which is best when served cooled with aperitifs. The Roman's call it the golden wine and it has been produced in the area for over two thousand years, so they must be doing something right!
