Principe Pallavicini

The history of the Pallavicini family, who have owned land in the Lazio region for hundreds of years, is intertwined with that of Popes, Cardinals, Generals and Princes.

The Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi on the Quirinal Hill in Rome is a clear testament to this remarkable ancestry. Among the Pallavicini’s proprieties is the Tenuta di Colonna, in the Castelli Romani area southeast of Rome. Here they have around 60 hectares of vines, of which about 50 are white varieties planted at an elevation of 200 metres on a combination of volcanic soils, calcareous clays and sand. The history of this area is even older than the Pallavicini family. According to legend, the Cretans built the first hilltop villages in Castelli Romani when they arrived in 1200 BC after being displaced by the Mycenaeans.

The Principe Pallavicini winery is built over a Roman cistern and aqueduct, while Roman artefacts and remains can be regularly found everywhere on the estate.
