Tenuta di Fiorano belongs to Prince Alessandrojacopo Boncompagni Ludovisi. The estate covers about 200 hectares of vineyard, olive grove, crop field and pasture, and it has always been farmed organically. Alberico uprooted almost all his vineyards in 1998. Between 1999 and 2004 Alessandro acquired another 13 hectares of land, and everything was done to organic principles under the steward Gianni Valenti.
The soil is entirely volcanic, with purple pozzolanic ash from the Latium Volcano. Grapes are picked and pressed by hand. The wine ferments in the Vecchia Cantina and ages in the Cantina Storica.
Fiorano Red is Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aged in old 10-hectoliter Slovenian barrels. Fiorano White blends Grechetto and Viognier. Fioranello Red is Cabernet Sauvignon alone, and it matures one year in small oak barrels.
