Acquapendente With your hands

Vineyard visit above Trevinano, on the Lazio-Tuscany border

Acquapendente

This is the last of Lazio before Tuscany: Trevinano on its ridge in front of you, Monte Amiata filling the sky behind it. The estate is small, organic, and opens for people who have called ahead.

How the day goes

  1. You arrive at the time you agreed, and the people who farm it walk you through the rows.
  2. The tasting after, with Amiata across the valley for as long as the light lasts.

It is a long way north for a single stop, so it works best folded into a day already heading for Bolsena or Orvieto.

Where it is

Acquapendente at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
