Drink in Montefiascone
Est! Est! Est!. The local white wine. Perhaps more famous for its name than its quality, although there are one or two good producers. The name goes back to 1111 when a German priest was travelling to Rome. He sent a servant ahead of him, with instructions to write Est! on the wall of any inn with good wine. When the servant arrived in Montefiascone he was so impressed with the local wine that he wrote Est! Est! Est! and that has been appropriated by local producers as the name for their white wine. The story does not have a happy ending. The Bishop was similarly impressed with the quality of the wine that he drank far too much and died.
