Frascati is the wine of Rome: a white of malvasia and trebbiano that used to be drunk in the city's taverns. Merumalia is a family organic farm in the hills below Frascati, with views of Rome, and visiting it is the most direct way to understand that wine.
What the visit is like
It lasts about an hour and a half. Giulia or Luigi Fusco, the owners, take you through the vineyard and the cellar, explain how they work organically and how the wine is made, and finish with a guided tasting of three wines and an extra virgin olive oil from the estate, accompanied by a board of organic cured meats and cheeses from the area. They like to adapt each visit to the group.
How to book
From the wine tours page of their website, with a form, or by phone. They do not publish a price. The estate is at Vicolo di Prataporci, 8, in the municipality of Frascati; you get there by car or taxi from the station. If you want to stay, they rent four apartments in the same farmhouse.
Tips
- Go by car with a driver who does not drink Or come by train to Frascati and ask for a taxi: the estate is outside the town.
- Combine it with Frascati In the afternoon, go up to the centre to see the square and Villa Aldobrandini.
