The exceptional quality of our wines is the result of an association between a long historical tradition and a terroir blessed by the gods. Domaine de la Solitude belongs to one of the most ancient families originating from Chateauneuf du Pape. As soon as the XVth century, we find MARTIN’s family name but in Italy, it goes even further back, in fact to the very ancient and not so glorious BARBERINI’s family. François BARBERINI, born in Toscana in1264, lived in Provence for a few years. The most famous one, Maffeo BARBERINI, apostolic nuncio in Paris from 1604 to 1606, was made Pope in Rome in 1623 bearing the name of Urbain VIII.
