Seven generations of one family farm more than fifty hectares at Vermicino, bottling Frascati DOC and DOCG whites and pressing extra virgin olive oil. The estate on Via di Vermicino hosts tastings and events among the Castelli Romani hills.
Winemakers at Frascati since 1816, the De Sanctis family works organically, bottling Frascati Superiore DOCG under labels such as Abelos and Vino 496. Tastings and vineyard visits are offered at the family cellar.
Described as the last wood-fired oven in Frascati, this bakery on Piazza Bambocci has baked bread, pizza and pastries over chestnut wood since 1920. Wine doughnuts, panettone and jam tarts come from the same centuries-old premises.
A large Frascati estate whose Regillo labels cover Frascati DOC, Superiore DOCG and the sweet Cannellino, all vinified on site among vines and olive groves. Guided tours, a farmhouse and a restaurant open the working cellar to visitors.

Frascati wine is bought at the estates, so arrange the visit before you think about the bottle. Casale Marchese, at Via di Vermicino 68, produces wine and olive oil and runs its own events and tastings.S1De Sanctis gives its address as Via Pietra Porzia 50.S2
Ask each estate whether a visit includes buying bottles and which wines will be open that day. Get the meeting point before you arrange transport.
