The late Prince Alberico Boncompagni Ludovisi inherited this Lazio estate just after WWII, planting 2.5ha to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in 1946. By 1964, the vineyard and cellar management was under the care of Brunello guru Tancredi Biondi Santi, and the labels touted that the wine was 'made from a vineyard that was never treated with chemical fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides.' Still deep ruby in colour, it's initially reminiscent of aged Bordeaux with green tobacco, dried blackcurrants, incense and a herbal edge. While the tannins are massive and rigid the fruit has faded, suggesting that this rare time-capsule may have been more enjoyable a decade or so ago. A juicy steak would temper it and help to provide balance.
