Golden. Luscious. A Roman grape reborn.
Bathed in the autumn sun of Lazio, Cincinnato “Solina” Bellone Late Harvest captures the quiet beauty of the vineyard as summer fades. Made from Bellone grapes left to ripen on the vine until late in the season, this luscious wine reflects both patience and nature’s generosity — a symphony of sweetness balanced by the sea-breeze freshness of its volcanic origins.
Golden and radiant in the glass, it opens with aromas of apricot, candied citrus, and acacia honey. On the palate, it’s silky and enveloping, offering layers of dried fruit, orange blossom, and gentle spice. Each sip lingers gracefully, leaving a memory of sun-warmed orchards and the soft glow of the Lazio hills.
For those in Ireland who love the harmony of sweetness and elegance, Solina offers something truly special — a dessert wine that feels both luxurious and soulful, perfect with pastries, blue cheeses, or for savouring on its own after a meal.
Why we love it:
We love Cincinnato “Solina” for its unique expression of the Bellone grape. The late harvest brings incredible depth and honeyed richness, while still preserving the grape’s natural brightness. It’s a captivating wine that speaks of craftsmanship, sunlight, and time — perfect for moments of quiet indulgence.
