Overview

The tour is a unique sensorial journey into history, designed to discover the Bosco de’ Medici estate and its winemaking tradition. More than just a tasting, it is a voyage through time, exploring the deep connection between the land, the ancient city of Pompeii, and its food and wine culture.

What makes this experience truly special is the revival of ancient Roman winemaking techniques: we produce wines in amphora, just as the Romans once did, bringing back the authentic flavors of the past. Paired with a lunch inspired by original recipes from Ancient Rome, this experience is a real immersion into history — a way to taste, smell, and live the Roman heritage.

The tour includes a private guided visit, a tasting of our wines, and a food experience that bridges the past and the present.

What To Expect

Bosco de Medici Winery

The tour is a sensorial journey into the Bosco de’ Medici estate, where history, wine, and tradition come together. More than a simple tasting, it is a real immersion into the past: guests will explore the 18th-century farmhouse, the experimental vineyard, the Necropolis of 79 AD, the winemaking and refining rooms with barrels and amphorae, where wines are still produced following ancient Roman techniques. The experience is enriched by a lunch inspired by recipes from Ancient Pompeii, bringing back authentic flavors from 2,000 years ago.MenuWelcome in the Cellar: Tasting of DOP olive oil with bruschettaDe’ Medici Starter: “Hordeum” salad with shrimp, garden vegetables, and brewed sauceFirst Course: Smoked tuna, mesclun, citrus sauce, and pumpkin in bittersweetSecond Course: Suckling pig with wild herbs and seasonal vegetablesDessert: Ancient wheat cake with wild cherries, blackberries, and black currantsWines: 4 Wines + 1 Sparkling Wine
