Producer Colle Formica

LAZIO

Colle Formica is a young and dynamic company located in Colle Formica, in the Velletri countryside, not far from the ancient Appian Way, about 45 kilometers south of Rome. It was born in 2018, but in reality the Bombetti family, the owners, has been producing wine for more than a century, and it is not difficult, walking through the rows, to come across almost half a century old vineyards planted with the native vines of the area. The estate also includes secular oaks, olive trees and orange trees, cultivated for family consumption. The vineyards, which extend over an area of ​​3 hectares, are located at about 200 meters above sea level, on volcanic soil rich in clay. The philosophy that the cellar adopts is to intervene as little as possible in the vineyard in order to let nature take its course, creating an overall artisan product. All the production of Colle Formica is carried out without the use of chemicals, pesticides or insecticides. The vinification takes place thanks to the native yeasts, without temperature control, and for all the cellar practices the lunar phases are followed.
