RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Bellone Bianco is a rare light-skinned wine grape variety from Lazio, Italy, grown mostly around the Italian capital Rome (where it has been cultivated since the days of the Romans).

Travelling up to Lazio we meet Bellone, a white grape variety that is also locally called Cacchione or Pampanaro. We find it above all in the provinces of Rome and Latina and characterised by large bunches, consistent skin and late ripening. It is appreciated for its versatility, in fact it performs very well both in the vineyards near the sea and in the hills, with multifaceted aromas, peach is a recurring one, with a good acidic content and a gustatory texture that’s rich and full of flavour. It is the protagonist in many denominations, from Doc Roma to Doc Roma, and increasingly made in purity, even with success in the case of the Classic Method.

Hectares under cultivation are decreasing

Although most wines produced are light, fresh-styled white wines, Bellone is also used to produce sparkling or sweet, late-harvest options.

(Kindly look below for wineries that cultivate and bottle Bellone as a mono-varietal)
