- Company details
We have a long family history. It kicked off as a lifetime project when Francesca moved from Rome to Colonna to embrace her husband Pierluigi’s passion for the land and its wine. At the beginning of the Twentieth Century Pierluigi's great-grandfather produced and marketed the wine of our vineyards, handing down the business from father to son. In the early Nineties Francesca and her husband, an experienced agronomist, gave new life to the winery, embracing the cause of organic farming since the beginning with particular care to biodiversity and sustainability in the vineyard as well as in the winery. The company is located in Castelli Romani. The grapes are cultivated in three vineyards of the area, all around Colonna: Colle Mozzo, Quarticcioli and Pigno, with a combined surface of 5 hectares of vineyards. All the varieties are by choice traditional expressions of central Italy, with the white ones being properly indigenous. The winery, where only grapes of our own production are vinified, is located in the heart of Colonna, the smallest town in the Castelli Romani area. Cantina Cardone was one of the first wineries to obtain organic certification in Latium and today it is verified by the Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification. We use green manure, grassing, and no chemical synthesis both in the vineyard and in the winery. Our wines are the product of devoted work in the vineyards: the organic farming method, an ideal pruning technique and a careful, manual harvesting. The wines are not overly processed in the cellar and therefore express their harmonious connection with nature and their vintage climate variation by which we are pleased to obtain a unique and diverse product year after year. They are still bottled and labelled by us by hand in our winery. The wines have a simple and authentic flavour to the taste, with a predominantly fruity and aromatic profile that confers freshness and a good persistence.
