Castelli Romani is the romantically named scattering of wine-producing towns set in the volcanic landscape of the Colli Albani, the Alban Hills, 20 km southeast of Rome. Today, a couple of the craters are filled with water, making up the lakes of Albano and Nemi. It may look all peaceful and serene, but the earth here is still seismically active.
In summer, it embodies the laid-back wine culture of Rome, with numerous cellars setting out long tables. Known for its mostly 16th century villas and especially for Villa Aldobrandini, which dominates the town, the slow hedonism will soon take over and you'll feel refreshed with that far niente or do-nothing spirit.
With this tour you will have the oppurtinity to lear about the wine making in Italy, tasting the wines and all the products homemade by the local productors.
