The van winds out of Rome’s traffic and into rows of low vines where the air smells faintly of sun‑warmed earth and fermenting grape must. Guests step from an air‑conditioned vehicle onto gravel paths that lead between barrel‑lined cellars and a sunlit terrace, the vineyard’s slope offering a quiet view over the Lazio hills. The afternoon unfurls as a sequence: a guided tasting among oak and stainless tanks, hands‑on pasta making in a shaded kitchen, then a long lunch to sit and measure the food against the wines.
