Colle Picchioni
Colle Picchioni sits in Lazio, the region surrounding Rome where volcanic soils and Mediterranean warmth shape wines of distinctive character. The winery's portfolio centers on structured reds and aromatic whites that reflect Central Italy's continental-maritime balance. Vigna del Vassallo, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led blend with Cabernet Franc and Merlot, anchors the red offering. Across the range, Merlot appears in Collerosso, a single-varietal expression of the winery's approach to the grape. On the white side, Le Vignole Bianco del Lazio blends Sauvignon Blanc with native Malvasia and Trebbiano, capturing the region's aromatic tradition alongside international varieties. Wine Advocate has assessed the winery's output, recognizing depth in both red and white expressions. The wines reflect Lazio's capacity for balance—neither overripe nor austere—and the particular mineral signature of its volcanic terroir.
