Red wine with Roman spice
Roman red wine conditium paradoxum
The Roman red wine conditium paradoxum is a particularly full-bodied wine made from the finest vines on the Rhine. An exquisite blend of spices and exquisite honey refine the delicate aroma of the Roman red wine. This fine wine is an excellent accompaniment to meat dishes, fish and vegetables or simply for a relaxing evening.
Even the Romans enjoyed this spicy red wine
The Roman red wine conditium paradoxum goes back to a recipe of the ancient Romans. As the wine in ancient Rome was still very sour, the Romans added spices such as saffron, cinnamon and cloves to the wine to give it a more digestible taste. The honey also made the fine grape juice more durable. Today, Roman red wine is considered the forerunner of today's well-known and popular mulled wine.
Exquisite blend of spices for a full-bodied aroma
Roman red wine is still produced today almost as it was in ancient Rome. First, the finest grapes from the Rhine are used for production. The finished wine is then boiled with honey and refined with spices such as saffron and pepper.
The result is the unmistakable conditium paradoxum, which has the following characteristics:
- A from Germany
- Volume: 0.75 liters
- Allergen information: contains sulphites
- 10.5 % vol.
- Ingredients: red wine, honey, pepper, dates, saffron, laurel
Dishes that go well with Roman red wine
It is difficult to say exactly who in ancient Rome came up with the idea of transforming tart red wine into a spicy drop. However, the oldest cookbook in history, written by the Roman Apicius, reveals that the idea dates back 2000 years. Even in ancient Rome, spiced wine was served with a wide variety of dishes. Tender pork fillets in sauce, a tasty cream of mushroom soup and fried sole are just some of the dishes that still go perfectly with Roman wine today.
A Roman evening - a little inspiration
How and what the Romans ate and drank can still be experienced today. Some dishes from ancient Rome have been preserved to this day. These include a pan of asparagus or ham in bread dough. Fittingly, Roman red wine is served in clay jugs rather than fine wine glasses.
