Tenuta I Fauri

If You Are Traveling to Rome, Here Are the 9 Wineries You Have to Visit

"This longstanding family-run estate farms about 86 acres spread across six small historic plots on the hills descending from the Maiella toward the Adriatic and is steeped in local history—excavations in the vineyards uncovered remains of an early Christian monastery. Visitors are encouraged to walk organically tended vineyards on the Teatro hills and to tour the renovated grandfather’s cellar in Ari, where preserved 1960s concrete tanks sit alongside modern steel and barrels; tastings emphasize seasonality and are paired with regional products. The estate’s Baldovino farmhouse, with terraces and a swimming pool overlooking the vines, offers a refined place to stay, and a nearby country house in the San Severino district provides additional overnight options. The estate’s Montepulciano aged nine months in concrete is elegant, deeply regional and retains vivid fruit while gaining intriguing depth." - Federico De Cesare Viola
