Tasting notes
The nose is intense and complex with distinct aromas of mature fruit, such as white peach, floral hints of broom and pleasantly toasted hints at the back. The mouth is well-balanced, with a distinct mineral hint and a lingering and full-flavored finish
Viticulture
Manually harvested when homogenously ripe before the grape selection and destemming is performed.
Vinification
The grapes undergo a 48 hour cold soak, after which they are crushed delicately. The fermentation and vinification take place partly in steel tanks and partly in new French oak barriques. While ageing, the wine matures on its lees for 6 months. Aged in bottle for at least 6 months.

Winery Description
The Ômina Romana winery is a family business founded in 2007 on the initiative of the Börner family. The choice of location for the business project was made in the Velletri area, about 40 km south of Rome, amidst the green volcanic hills of the Castelli Romani, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The Börner family's well-defined vision has inspired every decision in the project: to create a new winery that expresses the highest quality through knowledge, science, consistency and passion in its products.
The geographic position Ômina Romana is based on a strategic position due to the features of its “terroir”. The winds coming from the sea, a few miles from their property, and contrasting those coming from the mountains behind the Alban Hills and the caldera west of the volcano, create the excellent which, thanks to the difference in temperature and to the volcanic soil, allows to express the maximum potential of growing varietals.
A history linked to wine for almost 2,500 years
More than 2,500 years ago, the Etruscans, who had settled in what is now Lazio alongside the ancient Latin peoples, planted vines. For them, wine was the noblest embodiment of the forces of nature, for despite their winemaking, the maturation process remained a divine secret. For the ancient peoples, the success of a vintage depended on the "good omens" (in Latin omina) of the gods. Thus, they considered a warm summer without bad weather as a divine sign of a high-quality harvest.
