Monte Giove Formia Riserva Particolare 1956
The Monte Giove Formia Riserva Particolare is a dry red wine from the 1956 vintage, produced and bottled by Cantine Cenatiempo. Originating from the Formia area in Italy, this release is classified as a Vino Riserva and carries the specific 'Riserva Particolare' designation.
The wine hails from Lazio, a region that surrounds Rome and possesses a rich viticultural heritage, having supplied the capital with wine since antiquity. While Lazio is widely recognized today for its fresh white wines from Frascati and Castelli Romani—typically crafted from Malvasia and Trebbiano grown on volcanic soils—it also produces distinctive red wines, often driven by native varieties such as Cesanese.
This 1956 edition was bottled at 12.5% alcohol in a 720 ml format. It was distributed by Enoselezione Vini d'Italia.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Lazio
Lazio surrounds Rome, and the region's wines supplied the capital as far back as antiquity. Today the area is best known for fresh white wines from Frascati and Castelli Romani, made from Malvasia and Trebbiano on volcanic soil. The finest mineral whites come from the lake districts, while the native Cesanese yields the region's most characterful reds.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
