| Description |
This company can be considered among one of the first company to have rediscovered the local vineyards both red and white. The vineyards are located in the piece of land named "Le Maromorelle" within the town of Montecompatri, heart of the Castelli Romani, characterized by a long tradition in the wine production. Cicero spoke of this area as the "place producing the wine that Rome drinks”. The vineyards, of the local typology, are exposed to the sun, on a slight slope on volcanic soil.
This property is dominated by an homestead built in the 17th century, on the ruins of the Caligola’s villa. In one of the roman tank there is a tasting room. The family Papi began its activity in 1830 but the bottling procedure began in 1989. The main vineyards are:Malvasia, Greco, Bellone, Bonvino, Trebbiano, Cesanese and MontepuIciano. Free tastino also in English.
