The quality of the wines is very high, you can feel a lot of experience in winemaking. The tasting was very interesting. Three types of wine and a platter to accompany and pair the wines. The customer service was attentive and competent. Even in a hot and sunny summer, we visited the vineyards, the cellar and the barrel cellar. The company is relatively young, but values traditions. We were impressed by the winery's decision to focus on a black grape variety such as Cabernet Franc. A visit is recommended

It was a great decision to visit this wonderful winery! Flavia was our guide, and she provided a fascinating and informative tour. The place is truly beautiful. We also had a tasting session with snacks, and my friends immediately placed an order for wine to be delivered to the USA. Next time I'm in Castelli Romani, I will definitely visit again and bring my friends along!

I take this opportunity to compliment the company on the quality of their wines. I was enchanted by the Abelos, a white wine of 14° that is immediately fresh and clean but offers a truly intense and long-lasting experience. An excellent choice also the 496 that, immediately was presented to me as a wine "without commitment" but, which also was able to express a beautiful minerality and pleasantness in the finish. I would say an excellent presentation! See you soon for the next tastings

A small family-run winery of the Castelli Romani with a long tradition (winemakers since 1816), strictly organic, which produces two typical local wines, Frascati (496) and Frascati Superiore (Abelos), with truly excellent results. The top-quality Frascati has an important structure and alcohol content for a white wine, but is enjoyed with pleasure thanks to the floral aromas typical of Malvasia and the rich minerality that gives it flavor and freshness. Try pairing it with Cacio e Pepe. Unfortunately we were unable to try the Onde Rosé because it was sold out. The production is small and this winery sells the entire production every year. But luckily there are still a few bottles of Juno left, a red wine based on pure Cabernet Franc. A rarity because this grape is not typical of the area, but even in this case the product is of high quality. Finally, they also let us taste the Diciassette undici, their interpretation of the Cannellino, the sweet wine of the castles, which we combine with the typical Tarallini wines, also produced in the area. A beautiful reality in a particular territory, a basin that was once Lake Regillo, scene of a battle between Rome and the Latins and, before that, the crater of a prehistoric volcano. The date of the battle, 496 BC, inspired the name of one of the wines produced by this winery. Quality wines with an excellent value for money.
