Monti Cecubi Winery is located in Itri (Province of Latina, Latium), between woods and forests of cork, on the hills watching Sperlonga Sea.
This is the land of the old Vino Cecubo, the Ancient Roman wine. Produced in the area between the towns of Fondi, Itri and Sperlonga (kown as "Ager Caecubum"), Cecubo was the most important wine in Ancient Roman times, both during the Republican era and in the Imperial age, and therefor eulogized by many classical poets, such as Horace, Pliny the Elder and Columella

Presentation
Presentation
In ancient Greek culture, “thymos” represented the principle of vitality and was the place of strong passions residing in the chest. Homer used it to denote emotions, desire, or the internal impulse in a person, which was expressed and belonged to thought and feeling. Our Falanghina reminds us of this with its delicate aromas and, at the same time, its strong acidity and structure.
Location
The grapes are sourced from the vineyards of Itri, at an altitude of approximately 300 meters above sea level. -
Terroir
These vineyards flourish on clayey-calcareous soil with a robust structure, benefiting from the coastal sea breezes from the Sperlonga and Gaeta seas.
Winemaking
Winemaking involves a brief maceration of the grape skins in a press and gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures.
