OUR HISTORY
Donna Vittori was born from the dream of a group of friends, from different parts of the world, bound by their passion for wine, horses and art.
We fell in love with the Ciociaria countryside of Paliano and in 2021 we decided to found Donna Vittori - Borgo Agricolo, after establishing the Horse Museum Foundation in 2019.
Our dream is to spread beauty, to open the world to the divine taste of the Cesanese del Piglio DOCG wine and the delicate fragrance of the Rosciola olive oil.
After the first hectare of Cesanese grapes, we planted four more in 2022, and this year we opened our winery. Today we produce "Lettera", a red wine of the Cesanese del Piglio DOCG variety, "Clea" of the Lazio Rosso IGT variety from Sangiovese grapes and from this vintage a rosé wine for which we are in the process of choosing a name, in harmony with its character.
Ancient grains are also part of our dream, and we grow Cappelli durum wheat, Autonomy B soft wheat and Spelt, with which we make our famous pastas and pizza doughs for our "Pizza Experience" cooking classes for those people who share our values of health, taste and beauty.
