Conte Zandotti 

​The Conte Zandotti Estate was founded in 1734 by an ancestor of the present day Count. Cardinal Francesco Aluffi Pentini inherited the farm from Federico Cesi, who was founder of the famous “Accademia dei Lincei’. Once belonging to the Basilica of Saint Paul in Rome, originally a hunting reserve, the Estate was transformed into vineyards for producing wine by Cardinal Pentini who imported the best vines from Greece and France for the purpose. The Ancient Roman cistern below the fortified family mansion, (where the family still lives) and the cave excavated from tufo rock,  has  been the cellar used to preserve the Estate’s wines throughout the centuries.
 
The Estate comprises 40 hectares entirely of the family’s own property, all within the Frascati DOCG producing area made of volcanic earth, with breath-taking  panoramic views that extend from Monte San Gennaro to the Soratte mountain, then to Rome  and right across to the sea.
The grapes produced are those typical of the Frascati area with the inclusion of ancient indigenous varieties.
Conte Zandotti  produces excellent white and red wines and also a special local dessert wine called Cannellino (DOCG) They presently export to 28 countries worldwide.
 
A peculiarity of the estate is that they also produce cosmetics made from wine and other natural ingredients, offering all the benefits of the wonderful properties of wine!
