The company comprises small hillside plots of land and a winery. It is located in the Castelli Romani near Rome in the heart of one of the most renowned wine production areas in the Lazio region, covering 5 hectares of cultivated vineyards in the area of the DOC Frascati and DOC Roma.
Francesca, the owner of the winery, is responsible for marketing, customer service and any event that may take place in and out of the winery. Her husband Pierluigi supports her both in the vineyard and in the winery.
The Cardone Winery, previously known as Azienda Vitivinicola Francesca Cardone Donati, was one of the first wineries to achieve the organic certification in the Lazio region, currently checked by the Italian Ethical and Environmental Certification Institute.
