Tenimenti Leone

Tenimenti Leone is located in the Castelli Romani, a hilly region with volcanic origins located to the south-east of Rome. Here, the Veronesi family produces wine from indigenous and international grapes under the Roma DOC and Lazio IGP designations. Prior to its acquisition by the family in 2015, the 75-hectare, 35-hectare vineyard property had been maintained by monks as an organic fruit and vegetable farm. Upon discovering the caves excavated from the underlying Pozzolana volcanic rock, the Veronesi family resolved to conserve the efforts of their ancestors and continue the region's winemaking traditions. Today, the caves serve as aging cellars for Tenimenti Leone's wines and provide a glimpse into the property's history. Central to their approach is the concept of returning to their roots to find the true land of Lazio and reveal the immense potential of this well-known but underrepresented terroir. Tenimenti Leone is certifed organic in the EU and farms using responsible and sustainable practices.
