Azienda Biologica De Sanctis

The De Sanctis family has been cultivating vineyards in the Frascati region since 1816, carrying forward a deep-rooted tradition of winemaking. In the last decade, we have embarked on a mission to revitalize and elevate our production, challenging the outdated perception of Frascati wine as a simple "house wine" served in Roman trattorias. Our goal is to showcase the true potential of Frascati wines, emphasizing their rich organoleptic qualities and the unique experience they can offer.

Located in the Castelli Romani area, just south of Rome, our organic winery is situated on land with a rich volcanic history. Specifically, our vineyards are planted within the ancient basin of Lake Regillo, part of the larger crater of the Lazio volcano. This unique terroir, with its mineral-rich soils, plays a crucial role in the character and quality of our wines. At De Sanctis, we are committed to producing wines that reflect the authenticity of our land while offering visitors a glimpse into the history and culture of this storied region.

At De Sanctis, our organic wines are a true expression of the Frascati terroir, crafted with care and respect for tradition. We produce six distinct lines that capture the essence of our region:

Abelos Frascati Superiore DOCG: A blend of Malvasia Puntinata and Bombino, this wine exemplifies the elegance and freshness that Frascati wines are known for. It is crisp, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, making it a standout in our collection.

496 Frascati Superiore DOCG: Named in honor of the year Frascati was first mentioned in historical records, this wine combines Malvasia Puntinata with Trebbiano Toscano. It is a refined expression of Frascati’s winemaking heritage, offering a harmonious blend of fruit and acidity.

Amacos: A sophisticated wine made from Malvasia Puntinata and Bombino, aged for six months in large oak barrels. This aging process imparts a richer, more complex profile, with notes of honey and dried fruit.

Iuno IGT Lazio Rosso: A pure Cabernet Franc, aged for one year in barrique. This red wine is bold and structured, with deep flavors of dark berries and spice, showcasing the versatility of Lazio’s terroir.

Onde IGT Lazio Rosé: Made from Cabernet Franc, this rosé is vibrant and refreshing, with a delicate balance of red fruit flavors and crisp acidity, perfect for enjoying on a warm day.

Cannellino di Frascati DOCG: A sweet, late-harvest wine made from Malvasia grapes affected by noble rot. This wine is luscious and rich, with honeyed sweetness and a lingering finish, ideal for pairing with desserts or enjoying on its own.

Each of our wines tells a story of the land, the history, and the passion that goes into every bottle. At De Sanctis, we invite you to discover the true potential of Frascati wines through our carefully crafted organic selections.
