This is a very elegant wine embodying its land of origin, and named after the mythical Dioskouroi, “sons of Zeus”, to whom the ancient Temple of Castor and Pollux is dedicated. The grand remnants of the temple enrich the archaeological heritage of the town of Cori. This wine is produced by using purity vinification of Bellone grapes. This latter is a local species of grape also known as “uva pane”, due to its thin and delicate skin. This is a species of grape of old, which was grown in the Castelli Romani area in the Roman days already.
