The eternal city and wine: Best of Rome

In the southern outskirts of Rome, we are crossing the Via Appia Antica, the ancient Roman road that connected Rome with the port of Brindisi. A dirt road branches off to the left, leading across fields, past houses and stables. A scene straight out of an Italian neo-realist movie, timeless. We are at the Tenuta di Fiorano estate. Principe Alberico Boncompagni Ludovisi, a member of one of Rome's most important noble families, founded the estate in the immediate post-war period. Not only that: he also moved here to the villa, which has the illustrious address of Via Appia Antica 400. (This no longer belongs to the Tenuta di Fiorano, but more on that later).
