Tradition and territory
Our wines are born in a land of ancient winemaking tradition. In the 16th century the urban and extra-urban territory was dotted with vineyards, and the Etruscans had probably already discovered that these hills were particularly favorable for vines. We grow both native vines such as Ciliegiolo, Grechetto and Sangiovese and international vines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Ancient roots
An history of excellence
Terre d’Aquesia is located a few steps from Via Cassia (SS 2), an important road of Roman origin that still connects Florence with Rome, passing through Siena and Viterbo.
Our vineyards extend for 10 hectares at approximately 300 meters above sea level, on south-facing slopes of hills overlooking the Paglia river valley. The soil is characterized by its clay-loam texture, the good percentage of active limestone, and the good water retention capacity.
In December 2021 Terre d’Aquesia obtained the important “Natura in Campo” brand, granted by the Regional Parks Agency (ARP) of Lazio.
“Nature in the field” aims to enhance the sustainable and traditional agri-food production of protected natural areas and aims to promote forms of collaboration and partnership between managing bodies. In particular, with the “Natura in Campo” brand we want to encourage and qualify agri-food production with methods compatible with the characteristics of the territories of the Protected Natural Areas as well as the diffusion and promotion of the organic certification system and environmental sustainability.
