The historic Alberico’s wine is produced exclusively during the best wine producing years from selected grapes. We work carefully in the vineyard to protect the grapes’ health and aromatic features, while dosing the level of sugars, acids, polyphenols and primary flavors.
The far sighted intuition of Prince Alberico was to exploit eight rows of vines, four Merlot and four Cabernet, farmed organically for over half a century; the ancient vineyard protects the grapes from the mild and dry climate.
The wine ages in Rovere wood barrels for two years. The aging process enhances both the features given by the antique vines and the distinct flavor from the volcanic soils caused by an ancient volcanic flow. The wine thus obtained is then bottled for approximately eighteen months during which the refining process takes place. We only use a minimal amount of sulphites in our Alberico wine, just enough to allow the naturally selected yeasts to override the apiculate lees.
Intense, harmonious and absolutely unique in its kind, the Alberico wine is a jewel of the Made in Italy that cannot be resisted.

An intensely red wine with garnet highlights. The notes of red fruit, vanilla and spices conferred by the oak barrels give balance and character to the wine. It is a full and ample wine, whose savory and vibrant mineral notes recall the origins of the area around Rome, the volcanoes and the soil created by their eruptions.

Tasting notes
Alberico White is a wine of bright yellow color with greenish tones. To the nose, very intense notes emerge which are persistent, complex and toasty, reminding citrus and exotic fruits, buttery sensations and vanilla. To the palate it is soft, harmonious, sapid, fresh, persistent and elegant. The Sémillon finds in the volcanic soil a very special personality that allows it to best express all its characteristics. The prolonged aging in cask enhances its roundness and makes the Alberico White a unique wine in its area.
