Fruity

An elegant red from Lazio, made from a classic Bordeaux blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, grown on volcanic soils along the legendary Via Appia. Nose of black cherry, blackcurrant, sweet spices, and a hint of minerality. Smooth and harmonious on the palate, with melted tannins and a fresh, saline finish. Ideal with red meats, game, or mature cheeses.

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.
