Q

What is the story behind Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone DOC?

A
  • The unusual name of the wine region dates back to a 12th century tale of a German bishop traveling to the Vatican for a meeting with the pope. The bishop sent a prelate ahead of him to survey the villages along the route for the best wines. The “wine scout” had instructions to write Est (latin for There is) on the door or on the wall of the inns he visited when he was particularly impressed with the quality of the wine they served so the bishop following would know where to stop. At the montefiascone inn, the prelate was reportedly so overwhelmed with the local wine that he wrote Est! Est!! Est!!! on the door.
