Tenimenti Leone is a young company, located near Rome in the heart of Lazio, exactly between the towns of Velletri and Lanuvio. Important area from the naturalistic and artistic point of view, since these municipalities fall within the Regional Park of the Castelli Romani. This area is distinguished not only for the flora and fauna that host it, but also for the geological composition: the park extends in fact in the area of the ancient Lazio Volcano, which has also given rise to the basins of the present volcanic lakes of Nemi and Albano. It is therefore a particular terroir, able to imprint its essence within the products coming from this area. The company Tenimenti Leone, for the passion it nurtures for the territory to which it belongs and for the grapes itself, applies certified organic agriculture. Lazio Bianco Sciccheria is immediate and genuine, produced from a blend of Bellone grapes, local autochthonous variety, and Verdicchio. The grapes, harvested exclusively by hand and selected, are vinified and aged only in stainless steel in order to preserve the aromas and character. Then the wine rests for 2 months in the bottle before going out on the market. This bottle was made in limited edition with a collaboration with the Fondazione Più di un Sogno: one of the few organizations in Italy that plans and delivers quality of life improvement programs aimed at the entire life cycle of families with children with neurodevelopment disorder. The organization was founded in 2007 on the initiative of six families from Verona with children with Down syndrome, who today have hand-drawn these labels bringing added value to the bottle. Bianco Sciccheria in the glass has a pale straw yellow color, giving off fruity and floral aromas. The palate is light and flowing, an immediate and easy to drink wine, suitable for any time of the day, as an aperitif or with light vegetable appetizers. To fully appreciate its style, this white wine should be served at a serving temperature of 10/12 ºC.
