The Barberini Vineyard, planted on the Palatine Hill in the heart of the Colosseum Archaeological Park, officially becomes part of the “Iter Vitis Routes”, the Council of Europe’s cultural itineraries created to promote and preserve the tangible and intangible European heritage of wine and viticulture.

In the area of Vigna Barberini, named after the Roman family of the same name that owned the property in the 17th century, two years ago the rootstocks of the Bellone variety, a very ancient and native vine, which the historian Pliny the Elder called “uva pantastica”, still cultivated in the provinces of Rome, were planted.
