THE FIORANO ESTATE AN ORGANIC COMPANY BEFORE IT BECAME THE TREND, IS LOCATED IN THE ROMAN COUNTRYSIDE, 15 MILES FROM THE COLISEUM. IT HAS BEEN REBORN IN THE ANTINORI FAMILY PROJECT. TOTALLY DEDICATED TO ORGANIC BUT ALSO TO EDUCATING YOUNGER CHILDREN

Today, "organic" is the trend even for wine. But, some started the first organic farm in Italy just after the Second World War in 1946, in the Roman countryside 15 kilometers from the Coliseum. Prince Alberico Boncompagni Ludovisi inherited the Fiorano Estate lands where, on the advice of Tancredi Biondi Santi, the son of Ferruccio, "inventor" of Brunello di Montalcino, he planted only international varieties. Today, the Estate has re-flourished with the project led by Alessia, Albiera and Allegra Antinori, grandchildren of the Prince and the "new generation" of one of the most important dynasties of Italian wine, led by Marchese Piero Antinori. Then, as now, everything will be based on organic, just a short walk from the heart of the Capital city of Rome: the vineyards replanted with Merlot, Cabernet, Malvasia di Candia and Sémillon, but not only.
The project also includes transforming Fiorano into a place for families and for relaxation just a few kilometers from the city, with a very short-chain restaurant (“more than km 0, just 20 meters, to the vegetable garden”, Alessia Antinori likes to say). The facility will be completely self-sufficient: raw materials, from vegetables to meat to cheese, all produced on the Estate, but also training courses for children, with a series of educational and "seasonal" workshops on agriculture and wine & food (in collaboration with the Laboratorio di educazione al gusto dei bambini by WineNews).
