The winery was founded in 1974 in Trevignano Romano, a few kilometres from Rome.
With passion and dedication, our family takes care of the vineyards, which extend over the gentle and sunny slopes overlooking Lake Bracciano.
We grow native grapevines such as Trebbiano, Greco, Malvasia, Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Cesanese, among the last vines that will soon be available. We have also started growing international grapevines such as Merlot and Syrah for red wines, but also Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Viognier for white wines, obtaining excellent results from the hilly and volcanic soils on which the vineyards stand.
Since 2009, our family has also dedicated itself to the production of extra virgin olive oil, with a delicate taste and the typical aroma of the local variety. Last but not least, we have created a shop with regional food delicacies inside the winery.

Roman Countryside Caciofiore
Caciofiore can be considered as a kind of ancestor of Pecorino Romano, made by adding vegetable rennet obtained from the flowers of globe artichokes or cardoons to the raw sheep’s milk.The use of vegetable rennet has been a common cheese making practice since Ancient Roman times.
