Cantine San Marco

Lazio

The San Marco estate is in the Frascati hills overlooking Rome. Although it is now the second largest producer of Frascati wine, the company is still owned and run by Notarnicola family with 100 hectares of vines owned in and around Frascati, 200 hectares of contract producers and 45 hectares of rented vineyard. In addition, the family select and bottle wine from the Orvieto region. Over recent years, the family has invested in vineyard and winery to ensure consistency and quality across the board. Vines are restricted to a relatively low yield 60hl/ha with Guyot and double Guyot training. The grapes are hand harvested at full maturity at the end of September or the beginning of October before vinification in the temperature-controlled modern winery. All vinification is in stainless steel. The wines are attractive, fruity and forward in the modern style.
