Omina Romana, based in the Castelli Romani (Velletri, Lazio), stands out for its innovative, high-quality approach to viticulture—highlighting volcanic soils, attentive farming and thoughtful vinification. The “Hermes Diactoros” line is inspired by the mythological Hermes and underscores creativity, immediacy and terroir connection.

Grape variety
Viognier + Incrocio Manzoni + Petit Manseng + Chardonnay (variable percentages)
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in steel tanks, followed by approx. 6 months of aging and a short bottle rest before release. The result is a white wine preserving freshness, intense aromatics and a fine mineral backbone.
Alcohol content
13.5%
Tasting notes
Bright straw-yellow colour. The nose reveals ripe exotic fruit, citrus peel, white pepper, magnolia and aromatic herbs, with a mineral freshness reflecting volcanic terroir. On the palate it’s enveloping, fresh, slightly saline and has a long persistence.
Food pairings
Excellent with grilled or baked fish, shellfish, sushi, seafood risottos or bitter-vegetable dishes, fresh or semi-aged cheeses. Also superb as a stand-alone glass to appreciate its character.
