Castelli Romani is the romantically named scattering of wine-producing towns set in the volcanic landscape of the Colli Albani, the Alban Hills, 20 km southeast of Rome.
This territory is steeped in legend, the energy of the earth is regenerating. Today, a couple of the craters are filled with water, making up the lakes of Albano and Nemi. It may look all peaceful and serene, but the earth here is still seismically active.
Frascati, the wine town, is the most popular, and embodies the laid-back wine culture of Rome, with numerous cantine setting out long tables. It is known for its mostly 16th century villas. The slow hedonism will soon take over and you'll feel refreshed with that dolce far niente or do-nothing spirit.
