Tradition, dedication and passion for Frascati since 1982
The winery has a family tradition that began in the Marche region and continued in the Frascati area when in 1982 Piero Costantini bought the vineyards in Monte Porzio Catone that once belonged to Cardinal Pallotta with the intention of producing a prestigious wine.
Today, the estate is owned by Lorenzo Costantini, a renowned oenologist and lover of the wines of Lazio. Lorenzo believes in Frascati and in its great potential, he believes that the soil of the Castelli makes the wines produced in this area unique and that the climate favours the perfect ripening of the grapes; the pedoclimatic vocation finds its maximum expression in the cultivation of the autochthonous variety par excellence: the Malvasia Puntinata (or of Lazio), it is our intention therefore to create a Frascati with 80% of Malvasia del Lazio to give life to a unique and typical wine of the territory.
The Villa Simone winery is also committed to respecting the environment, reducing the consumption of water, energy and pesticides to a minimum with the help of advanced equipment and technology.
If you have a great territory, it is only a matter of will and commitment to make wines of excellence.
Our visits will be guided by oenologist Lorenzo Costantini and his daughter Sara Costantini (Hospitality Manager); the visits start in the vineyard adjacent to the winery where we will illustrate our territory with its peculiarities, the history of our family and its evolution.
We will also show you the various forms of cultivation and the different varieties present, explaining the reason for our sustainable choices and their socio-economic and environmental impact.
The visit will continue inside our winery, where we will retrace the path of the grapes, from harvest to bottle. We will talk about our vinification and ageing methods, visiting our barrique cellar and our caves.
At the end of the guided tour you can taste our wines, savouring not only the territory but also the "fruit" of our passion.
