Our estate
In the heart of the Castelli Romani
The Colonna Estate is located in the heart of the Castelli Romani, just 25 kilometres south-east of the capital’s centre. It is the original grounds for the Pallavicini family’s wine production. Today it can count on around 80 hectares of which 65 are vineyards; 50 with white grapes and 15 with red, as well as 4.000 olive trees from the Leccino, Frantoio Moraiolo, Carboncella, Rosciola and Itrana varieties. They all grow on primarily hilly land with heights ranging from 100 to 300 metres; south-west facing slopes and well drained soils of limestone and clay. The estate consists of three areas: Colonna, Pasolina and Marmorelle.
