Azienda Agricola Castel de Paolis
Eight years of grape-variety research with Professor Attilio Scienza, then row-vineyard replanting and a green harvest on the reds: the same volcanic hill, replanted from scratch.
Founded by the Santarelli family in 1985 and still in their hands, Castel de Paolis reset the bar for Roman wines from the volcanic hills of Grottaferrata. Frascati Superiore DOCG, the Viognier-driven Donna Adriana and the Syrah-led I Quattro Mori show what the Castelli Romani can do at low yields. Guided tastings include a vineyard and cellar tour, with Roman-age water cisterns still in use as barrique rooms.

Lazio
Mottura Sergio
Tuscia organic estate above Civitella d'Agliano, on the Lazio slopes that face Lake Bolsena and the Umbrian border. The Mottura family has farmed the land since 1933 and is the producer that turned Grechetto into a serious age-worthy white. Tastings run from a seventeenth-century tuff cellar beneath the medieval village; Giuseppe Mottura, who now leads the winery, also serves as mayor of nearby Orvieto.
