Velletri (Rome)

ColleFormica was born in 2017 in an area with a thousand-year-old tradition. In reality, the Bombetti family has been producing wine here (and not only) for more than a century, in fact it is not unusual, walking through the rows, to come across vineyards that are almost half a century old. The vegetation also includes centuries-old oaks and orange trees, testifying to the absolutely Mediterranean climate of the entire area.
