Cantina Cerquetta


The Cantina Cerquetta is owned by the Ciuffa family. A family that has been making wine since 1793. With 25 hectares of their own vineyards and another 260 hectares in various parts of the area supervised by the Estate’s agronomist.

The family continues their 200 year old wine-making tradition in a lovely 18th century farmhouse just a stone’s throw from the Monte Porzio Catone motorway exit at the foot of the Tuscolani Hills, 6 km from Frascati.

The Estate, though maintaining its respect for its heritage, boasts a large production of 2,000,000 bottles with modern state of the art equipment for vinification and bottling and the policy of a meticulous choice of the grapes and insisting that the grapes be gathered by hand in the cool dawn hours. In this way the grapes do not get warm under the sun, are pressed at night-time temperatures, which enables the must to preserve its aromatic quality and flavour.

The wines produced are:
Frascati DOC Superiore ; Montecompatri DOC Superiore; White and red Castelli Romani DOC 
Orvieto DOC and Orvieto DOC Classico ; Merlot red IGT Lazio ; Trebbiano white IGT Lazio
Sparkling white wine: Il Cerquetello

"Fulgor" – Cesanese – red IGT Lazio
Our selections:
