WHO WE ARE
ÔMINA ROMANA is a family-run winery founded by the Börner family in 2007. When they had to decide where to start their business, they settled on the area around Velletri, among the lush volcanic hills of the Castelli Romani overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, about 40 km south-east of Rome. The project began with a clear vision, one which has inspired every decision since the time of its inception: creating a new kind of winegrowing and wine producing business, one whose products would embody its values – an excellence of quality born of knowledge and science, passion and dedication. This is the origin of our philosophy, Mens et Manus, i.e. mind and hand.
Hard work and passion render our wines unique.
The interaction between climate and soil, as well as the knowledge and experience of the people involved in the vineyard, are the basis for the production of our wine. We have planted each of our vines after a careful evaluation of the environmental characteristics in which Ômina Romana stands; we have cared for them for years and cultivated them in harmony with nature in order to produce, attentive to the best balance point, a few bunches per plant. After the harvest, in order to obtain wines with an unmistakable character, we work the grapes without forcing the processes, giving each of our wines time and rest to mature: an effort to achieve a final result that expresses the high quality standard and pure passion profuse in the vineyard and in the cellar. In essence, it is the enhancement of an ancient terroir with an incomparable millenary history.
