Historically, wines from Lazio (such as Frascati) were regarded as little more than inexpensive drinks consumed in bulk to accompany the rustic cuisine of Roman trattorias. Thanks to soils rich in minerals and volcanic tuff (particularly in the Castelli Romani and Lake Bolsena areas), the region is undergoing an extraordinary change from mass-market bulk wine to meticulous artisanal production showcasing native grape varieties and the terroir.

We are pleased to have Marco Lori, Italian sommelier and wine master, lead this CCR wine tasting. Marco’s sommelier training in 1995 sparked his passion for wine and set in motion years of study. In 2014 he earned the “Italian Sommelier Executive Wine Master” status, recognized by the Worldwide Sommelier Association. He is the founder of “Off the Vine,” a gastro-tourism venture in Italy.
