Latium was created by seven brothers and cousins of the Morini family who, like so many in Italy, worked with the local Cantina Sociale. They realised they shared a passion for quality, a passion for their land and, rather conveniently, vineyards in Valpolicella and Soave! They also had space to build a winery on the land so very recently left the coop and started to work on their own.
We are very excited to have discovered Latium Morini at a very early stage. What they may lack in track record, they more than make up for in the quality they are producing. Their innovative outlook, informed winemaking and viticulture, value for money, not to mention their exciting and contemporary presentation, all makes for a compelling package.
The wines are all one would hope for from the Veneto. The Soave are fresh and vibrant, the cru Campo Calle having extra weight and complexity. The reds are full and structured, each step of the ladder from the straight Valpolicella to the Amarone clearly defined in terms of weight and complexity. Above all these are wines that clearly express their origin.
This Soave is deliciously fresh and vibrant, aromatic with zingy fruit and lovely balance.
