Excerpt from Layne Randolph's story in Napa Valley Life Magazine in February 2024.

Jacobini
The Jacobini Lazio wine story begins in 1680 when the family first started producing wine over four generations ago. At the time, Jacobini was considered a premiere Lazio wine and was exported all over the world. Alessandro Carafa Jacobini and his American wife, Nina Farrell, wanted to bring back Jacobini Lazio wine as independent producers under their own label. Alessandro and Nina decided to start off with the release of just one wine and focus on making it the very best it could be. It's a fresh and crisp organic IGP white wine produced in the hills near Ariccia, just south of Rome. It's made with the Lazio native grape, Procanico, an aromatic variety of the Trebbiano del Lazio grape.

From the Jacobini website: Jacobini:
Native grapes of Trebbiano Toscano are carefully selected and handpicked to produce our limited IGP Lazio denomination wine. The volcanic rock in our terroir is expressed in every bottle, creating a wine bursting with aromas of tropical fruit and citrus and a pronounced minerality and salinity on the palate. An extremely food-friendly wine, it pairs well with appetizers, pasta dishes, white meats, and especially fish dishes.

Omina Romana
Near the town of Velletri, the Ômina Romana (Roman Omens) winery and vineyards thrive. The vines—planted in volcanic soil, warmed by the Mediterranean sun, and cooled by sea breezes—grow in an optimal micro-climate that allows them to express their full potential. And it has—Ômina Romana used the fruit from these vines and state-of-the-art tools and scientific research to produce a wine worthy of Italy’s highest rating: Tre Bicchieri.
