Castel de Paolis
This Winery is in the municipality of Grottaferrata (famous for its 1000 year old Abbey of Saint Nilus), just a few kilometres from Frascati. Founded by the ex-undersecretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, On. Giulio Santarelli, who enrolled the help of none other than Attilio Scienza, Professor of Viticulture at the University of Milan, between 1985 and 1992, concentrating both on recuperating the indigenous varieties, almost lost with the phylloxera epidemic in the 19th century, and the planting of other Italian and French varieties. A modern cellar that makes the most of the Roman Cistern underneath it to age its barrique barrels.
The wine tasting always includes a tour (in English or Italian) of the vineyards and of the barrel cellar, therefore ending in the Roman aqueduct cistern, from where you can be lead straight into the showroom, restaurant and hospitality area. The tasting itself takes place in the panoramic salon with views over the vineyards and Rome. The total duration is approximately 2 hours. You can also acquire wine in the show-room (with a discount for Easyfrascati pass holders of between 10 and 15% depending on the type of wine).
There is a private car park, where you will be met by the Estate’s Oenologist, Dott. Farbizio Bono or a member of the Santarelli family, proprietors of the Estate, who will show you around during your visit.
Castel De Paolis can also host your events (private or corporate), weddings and parties for up to 90/100 seated guests (depending on the table layout chosen) in the dining room which opens directly onto their panoramic terrace. The central dining room can cater for 80/90 seated guests or can be transformed into a projection room for approximately 50/60 people (theatre style seating plan). Pricing for your event can be discussed directly with the management.
Wine Tastings can be booked between 10am and 1pm and from 3.30 pm and 5.30pm week days.
Saturday 10am and 1pm and Sundays only for groups of more that 25 persons.
