This Merlot is pretty exceptional, with intense plummy fruit and a character best described as hot, wet earth (believe me it’s lovely!). Truly stunning wine. Organic - OVegan - VE
Producer introduction

The  Land

 

The winery is located on the Homonymous hill, south of Rome, at 200 mt. above sea level, in a land deeply marked by history and culture that came to magnificence especially during the Roman Age. The large number of ruins still existing, in particular the natural spring and the ancient Roman cistern (see photo) are witness to a glorious past and make this site one of memory.

 

Sited on the volcanic hills in the middle of Frascati region, a land that has always welcomed the cultivation of grapes since Roman age, this farm vinifies only the grapes of its own vineyards, (produced to Organic standards)
