This property should not be viewed as a simple “difficult” agricultural company; on the contrary, it is quite the opposite, as it is an agricultural, winemaking, and hospitality infrastructure already built, up and running, and expanding both structurally and in terms of wine marketing.
Located in one of Italy’s most important areas for market proximity, tourism, and storytelling: Rome and its historic hinterland.
Here the value is not only in the vineyard and the winery , but in the whole of location, history, structures, brands, sustainability and sales potential.
The territory: because here the context makes the difference
Ariccia and the Castelli Romani represent one of the oldest wine-growing areas in Italy, today in full phase of qualitative reinterpretation thanks to the DOC Roma , which has restored dignity and commercial prospects to historically undervalued productions.
The immediate proximity to Rome is not a logistical detail: it is a value multiplier for:
- wine tourism,
- destination catering,
- corporate and private events,
- direct sales and brand experience.
Very few Italian territories allow you to combine certified organic agriculture , real biodiversity and access to an international urban market of millions of people less than an hour away.
The structural merits of the asset
- Total surface area ~20 hectares (196,000 m2) in a single body, with a prevalence of irrigated vineyards.
- Intelligent agricultural mix : vineyards, olive groves, citrus groves, fruit orchards, vegetables, resilience and storytelling.
- Certified products : DOC Roma, Castelli Romani, IGT Lazio and certified organic (Suolo e Salute).
- New cellar, sized to grow : 1,300 hl total, with tanks, presses, autoclaves for sparkling wines, in-house bottling, recently built tasting room (2023/2025).
- 1,000 m2 villa–agriturismo with restaurant and events, project approved for expansion, wellness and swimming pools ( renovation and spa construction works to begin in March 2026 ).
- 77 kWh of photovoltaic systems built in 2025
- Agricultural machinery for the complete mechanization of the vineyards (technical assets ~€500,000).
- Registered trademarks (TENUTA SAN LEO and COMMODO): one national, one European.
- Significant wine warehouse : bulk (~1,500hl), plus bottles, financial and commercial leverage.
- Premium accessibility : Appia, Pontina, Nettunense, railway and authorization request for a helipad.
Who is it suitable for (clear buyer profile)
This company is perfect for:
- Food & beverage/hospitality groups seeking an agricultural hospitality platform near Rome.
- Wine entrepreneurs with industrial vision, capable of increasing production to 80–100,000 bottles per year.
- Sophisticated wealth investors seeking a real asset that can be transformed into a wine tourism destination.
- Experiential luxury operators (events, weddings, corporate retreats) who require authentic, uncontrived spaces.
It is not suitable for:
- those seeking immediate income without management restructuring;
- who lack the skills or governance to integrate agriculture, wine and hospitality.
Why is it on the market now?
The key fact is this: the company has just concluded the most expensive and risky phase .
New winery, facilities, energy infrastructure, brands, sales network: everything was done before reaping the financial benefits . The owners realized that this was an activity not suited to their business expertise.
Historical losses do not arise from structural inefficiency, but from:
- advance investments,
- volumes still deliberately limited,
- focus on building the asset, not on cash flow.
The change of ownership now allows a new entity to enter downstream of the risk and upstream of the profitability .
What kind of operation is it?
This is a platform operation with relaunch and diversification , not a simple agricultural acquisition.
- Platform : land, new cellar, brands, permits, hospitality.
- Relaunch : volume growth up to 100,000 bottles, hospitality renovation, industrial margins.
- Diversification : wine, oil, agritourism, events, direct sales, international tourism.
The sales methods (shares, Rent to Buy, closed gates) allow for flexible and structured entries , also ideal for progressive operations or joint ventures.
Final strategic summary
This company does not need to be “saved”.
It must be implemented and managed according to the principles of wine tourism profitability .
Anyone who joins today acquires:
- an asset already 80% built for the project;
- in a territory that sells itself;
- with a credible biological positioning;
- and a clear growth trajectory.
It is the classic case in which the value is not in the economic past, but in the already designed industrial future .
