VILLA SIMONE Frascati Roma

The first thing was to replant new vineyards by inserting the minor varieties such as Malvasia del Lazio, to the detriment of the more productive ones (Malvasia di Candia and Trebbiano) but of clearly inferior quality, cultivating them with counter-espalier systems with short pruning systems (guyot and spurred cordon ) in order to drastically reduce its productivity. In a second time, the entire winemaking cycle was modernized, giving ample space to cold technology. Today the company is owned by Lorenzo Costantini, a renowned winemaker and enthusiast of Lazio wines. Lorenzo believes in Frascati and in its enormous potential; he believes that the soil of the Lazio Volcano makes the wines produced in this area unique and that the climate favors the perfect ripening of the grapes; the pedoclimatic suitability finds its maximum expression in the cultivation of the autochthonous variety par excellence: Malvasia del Lazio, also called Malvasia Puntinata.
