Volcanic chaos:
In 2017, we met agronomist Pedro Parra, with whom we collaborated for two years to investigate the distinctive features of our soils in order to identify the nuances of the various terroirs in the different expressions of Ciliegiolo. The volcano immediately stands out: wines that are generally more flavorful, sometimes salty. This tasting aims to introduce you to this alternative way of interpreting wine, in search of the volcano.

After visiting the underground cellar, we will explain our choices in the ecological management of the vineyards.

We will taste 6 wines in which the expression of the volcanic soil is evident, and we will describe their grapes and the different vinification and aging techniques. Some of these wines are extremely limited editions.

The wines to be tasted will be: Ritorno (Etna Bianco Superiore – Sassotondo – a non-profit project that links us through our family to another volcano), Numero Sei (a mellow Orange Wine), Numero Dieci (a more robust Orange Wine, made from Greco grapes with long maceration), Monte Rosso (Nocchianello Nero, an ancient, indigenous and almost lost grape variety from Pitigliano), Poggio Pinzo (Ciliegiolo with long maceration in terracotta), and Monte Calvo (Ciliegiolo to which a portion of unstemmed grapes imparts particular finesse).

The wines will be paired with samples of Flamigni's savory pastries, an innovative project to highlight the importance of a good food pairing.

The winery has been certified organic since 1994. We are part of the VolcanicWines network and are members of FIVI – Independent Winegrowers.

When you come to visit us, prepare for a trip to the countryside, immersed in the nature of rural Tuscia. Everything revolves around wine and the vineyard, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothing. Depending on the weather, the tastings take place under our patio or in the air-conditioned tasting room.
