Overview The winery is located in the province of Latina in Lazio, surrounded by green hills of Lazio. Surrounded by vineyards, produce wines of great character and elegance, which well reflects the characteristics of the territory from which they come. The production focuses on white wine and red wines, mostly made up of indigenous grapes such as Muscat of Terracina and Bellone, but there are most popular grape varieties like Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and of course Merlot The company's origins date back to half of 800, when Andrea Pandolfo I started to plant grapevines and making wines made of Zibibbo grape sin Pantelleria. In 1880, preciselyin Khanguet Station, north of Tunisia, Andrew I bought 60 acres of land through the sale of his small vineyard. Planted the first vines, harvested the first grapes, near th 1900 Andrew I abetted by his son John in the family company, started producing wines of quality, so that from the port of Tunis were departing ships fully loaded with wine to serve best markets in France. In 1938 Andrew II took the leadership of the winery, due to the death of his two predecessors. Only sixteen-year-old, he continued with great effort and courage his father's work, by raising more and more the reputation and quality of their wines.

Next, came to Tunisia the terrible disease of phylloxera, which attacked the vine going to meet a very hard time. The vines, now dry, were cut and burned to make charcoal for the merchants of Tunis. Finally arrived from France the first grafted roots, able to resist the disease, thus repopulating the land with strong vineyards. In May 12, 1964, Harbib Bourguiba, the then President of Tunisia, expropriated all property and goods of foreigners in the land of Tunisia through a measure known to history for his radicalism. It was thus deleted all the work and the toil of a lifetime: the family Pandolfo was obliged to leave the country and was divided between Italy and France. Andrew II, now in its fourth decade, decided with the children to move to Italy and buy a small farm near Terracina (LT), to resume his journey. With the harvest of 1968 collected their first grapes to produce wine, produced the first bottles with handwritten labels, gaining tthe first customers and the store began to take hold among the most important wineries in Latium. Claudio Pandolfo, the current owner of the store, afterv the death in 1976 of Andrew II, decided to continue the path taken 150 years earlier by Andrea Pandolfo I, to create and enhance the reality of today's fame is the winery of the Templars Circeo. |
