The history of the Pallavicini family, who have owned land in the Lazio region for hundreds of years, is intertwined with that of Popes, Cardinals, Generals and Princes. The Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi on the Quirinal Hill in Rome is a clear testament to this remarkable ancestry.
The Principe Pallavicini winery is built over a Roman cistern and aqueduct, while Roman artefacts and remains can be regularly found everywhere on the estate.
The ‘Rubillo’ is made from Cesanese grapes harvested by hand at the beginning of October. After selection, the grapes are crushed and fermented on their skins for about two weeks before ageing in stainless steel. This wine is balanced and pure, with an attractive nose, ripe fruit and a hint of spice on the palate.
