Cantina Gaffino

In Ardea, at the gateway to the Roman coast, Cantina Gaffino cultivates its vineyards following the natural cycles of the soil, with the aim of preserving its health and fertility over time. Three generations of work have consolidated a precise selection of grape varieties—Montepulciano, Cesanese, Sangiovese—those that best respond to the climate and soil of Lazio, united under the Roma DOC denomination. Harvesting at the optimal point of ripeness and separate vinification for each variety allow them to start with healthy grapes, eliminating the need for corrective interventions in the cellar: a philosophy that shifts quality from remedy to prevention, from vat to vineyard. The result is a red that speaks clearly of its soil, born more from agronomic choices than enological ones. The winery is open for visits: it's worth a stop among the rows in Ardea to see how Montepulciano, Cesanese, and Sangiovese become, vintage after vintage, a recognizable expression of Roma DOC, and to taste them in the exact place where the wine takes shape.
