Fruity

The estate’s flagship, Alberico Rosso is a characterful, deep, and timeless wine, born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. There’s no stylistic gimmick here: everything is dedicated to the pure expression of the terroir and the grape, in a style reminiscent of the greatest Tuscan reds… or Bordeaux.

The nose is intense and complex, with aromas of blackberry, graphite, cedar, tobacco leaf, and bitter cocoa. On the palate, the texture is noble, with racy tannins, a perfectly integrated freshness, and a long, spicy, almost balsamic finish. A wine with great ageing potential, to be decanted for a long time or left to rest in the cellar for a few years.

Pair with strong meat dishes, game dishes, or savor slowly, on its own, to give it all the space it deserves.

A noble heritage, between unspoiled nature and a wine renaissance

A few kilometers south of Rome, on the ancient lands of the Via Appia Antica, the estate of Prince Alberico Boncompagni Ludovisi embodies a unique history, at the crossroads of aristocratic tradition and a pioneering vision of sustainable viticulture. Since the 1940s, the prince has been a pioneer, choosing natural, chemical-free agriculture, long before the term organic or biodynamic viticulture was coined.

After a long period of silence, the estate was reborn under the leadership of Alberico Boncompagni Antinori, the prince’s grandson, who perpetuated his ancestor’s spirit: respect for the land, historic grape varieties, and minimalist winemaking. On this volcanic, hilly terroir, between Mediterranean warmth and marine influences, the wines express a radical purity, a unique identity, deeply rooted in the soil of Lazio.
