| THE HISTORY | |
496 a.C, in a large amphitheatre with the lake Regillo in the middle, an hard battle took place between romans and latinos;
in the crucial moment, descended from the sky the Dioscuri, the two twins born by Jupiter, and led the Romans to triumph!The battle theatre is today the Tenuta di Pietra Porzia, a small river that runs in the centre of the estate reminds of the ancient lake, the cave with her long passages, excavated in Roman Empire Age, testifies an agricultural tradition and on 1714 the estate was divided between the proprieties of Pope Clemente XI and the one belonging to Prince Borghese. The date 1892, engraved in the bricks, reminds the birth of the modern cellar, that replaces the ancient cellar excavated in the tuff in the Roman Empire time. Shortly after, the grandfather of the present owners, Giulini family, gave to the estate, 118 acres in a unique body, the current appearance with the vast vineyards and olive grove in the highest part of the amphitheatre. The vineyards, 100 acres, are planted with Malvasia di Candia, Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia del Lazio, Greco and Bombino used for Frascati Superiore; Montepulciano, Cabernet and Merlot for Castelli Romani Red. 18 acres are planted with Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo for the extra-virgin olive oil. In 1945, a post modern style villa now landmark has been built in a dominant position with a breathtaking view, that sweeps from Rome to Tivoli, the Castelli Romani, Monteporzio and Frascati. Nowadays the villa and the guesthouse have been transformed into a farm hotel with 12 rooms, an agritourism restaurant and a swimming pool at disposal of who wants to discover the beauty of an untouched landscape in the Roman countryside.
