Principe Pallavicini
The Principe Pallavicini estate has been in the Pallavicini Family (one of the most ancient and important noble families in Italy) since 1670, when Maria Camilla Pallavicini married Clement IX's nephew Giovan Battista Rospigliosi; but was already providing wine to Pope Gregory XIIVth at the end of the 16th Century, whilst in the hands of the Ludovisi-Boncompagni family. This gorgeous winery covers 90 hectares of beautiful Castelli Romani countryside, of which 65 are dedicated to vines, and is owned by Donna Maria Camilla Pallavicini and her two sons, who, although resident in the family Palace in front of the Quirinale in Rome, have a very much hands-on attitude. Their wines are all prize-winners, and include one of the top 3 'passito' (sweet) wines in Italy as well as excellent reds. (Another 15 hectares of vineyards in Cerveteri, Montetosto, on the Maremma coast in Northern Lazio, complete their vine production).
Principe Pallavicini have worked towards contributing to maintaining traditions of the territory and its well-being by implementing measures which have included certifying their own clones of autochthonous vines, producing their own yeasts and with accent always being on quality; obviously proven in the amount of awards gained, thanks too to the collaboration of the World famous oenologist Carlo Ferrini. They also produce a fine Extra virgin olive oil from 2400 olives tree, some of which are centuries old. The property is composed of three areas which include a hill called the 'Pasolina' that characterizes the whole surrounding landscape with its Medieval tower and terraced vineyards, 'Le Marmorelle' where vinification and aging take place, and Colonna, where the 'Osteria della Colonna' is now tasting rooms, private restaurant and bottling plant. This Osteria was mentioned in various Grand Tour guides (18th - 19th centuries) as a place to stay and refresh, and has always been a reference point for ancient travellers.
