2,000 Year Old Vineyard Near Rome: La Torretta in Grottaferrata

La Torretta winery near Rome has been producing vino for 2,000 years. Visit the vineyard with Parl Tours: katieparla.com...
Winemaking in the Castelli Romani dates back nearly three millennia, and La Torretta’s property has been in current owner Riccardo Magno's family for generations. Reflecting local customs, La Torretta's wine is made in a second-century BC cave, dug by hand from the living rock. The wine barrels are housed in this historic space, guaranteeing consistent temperature and humidity levels.
La Torretta grows indigenous grapes like malvasia puntinata, trebbiano, and cesanese. All the wines are certified organic and biodynamic. Walk through the vineyards and experience La Torretta's philosophy and methodology, followed by a tour through the cellar. Finally, sample wine paired with local cured meats and cheeses on a panoramic terrace.

making wines in Georgian method and calling it ancient method is a modern classic. I bet those clay “amphoras” that are berried in the ground are actually from Georgia too😊

They are terracotta vessels made in…italy or Spain…I forget. But they aren’t Georgian qvevri.
