Company Profile
Company
The Gotto d'oro winery preserves the ancient wine making tradition of the fertile Castelli Romani area to the south of Rome, which traces its roots back to Roman times, and gives the company its brand name – "Gotto" (goblet).In fact, the term derives from the Latin guttus, an alternative form of gutus (jug or flask), and indicates a vessel usedfor drinking wine.The international reputation of Grotto d'oro products is such that they have come to be associated with the history and monuments of Rome itself, the Eternal City.

The Vines
Grapes have been cultivated in the Castelli Romani for thousands of years and wine growers have planted and experimented with innumerable varieties over the years, with varying degrees of success. In more recent times, several international varieties have been introduced, flourishing in the optimal habitat provided by the volcanic soils, hilly terrain and favourable climate.Although white grapes predominate, largely as a result of the internationalisation of Frascati wine in the 60s that encouraged many local winemakers to attempt to emulate the success enjoyed by the white wines of the Castelli Romani, there is a small but significant presence of red grapes, which are used to produce several high quality wines.The white wines are based predominantly on the Malvasia di Candia and Trebbiano Toscano varieties, which lend them their freshness and full-bodied flavour; excellent characteristics when combined with indigenous grapes such as the well-structured Bombino and Greco, or semi-aromatic Malvasia del Lazio and Bellone varieties, as well as Vermentino or even international grapes like Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Viognier.Many of these grapes are vinified and marketed as single grape varieties, especially Malvasia del Lazio and Chardonnay. The most widely cultivated black grapes are Sangiovese, Montepulciano, the native Cesanese and Nero Buono, and well-integrated international varieties, such as Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
MONTEPULCIANO

This typical central Italian variety makes wine of great character and personality and produces the best red wines from the Castelli Romani area when blended with Sangiovese, Merlot and Cesanese.
SANGIOVESE

Cited by scholars and experts, starting with Acerbi in 1713, this Tuscan vinespread to Castelli Romani during the1800s, where the local habitat suited it so well that it soon became an integral part of a majority of Roman wines, lending them an intense ruby red colour, as well as good tannin levels and ageing qualities.
CESANESE
Described in the ampelographic handbooks of 1888 as grape grown in the countryside around Rome, Cesanese is an archetypical indigenous variety. The grape is very sensitive and produces a highly distinctive wine. Its quality can vary sharply from year to year, and it represents a real challenge for winemakers.
