Our vineyards

The harmonious hills among the medieval towns of Gualdo Cattaneo, Bevagna and Giano dell’Umbria live a privileged position: altitude between 220 and 470 meters, chalky clay soils and a sub continental temperate climate, in a winning blend that gives rise to a particularly suited soil for powerful and complex wines, full of personality.

If the main vine is surely Sagrantino, DOCG shows sublime expressions of Grechetto, Trebbiano Spoletino and international grapes who find here their ideal location.

Sagrantino

Used in Middle Age to produce vin Santo, from where it takes its name, it’s the oenological symbol of Umbria. Grapes grow on hilly clay soils, between 350 and 400 meters above sea level. The result is a powerful, complex wine, with a strong structure and roundness. An intense character able to always renew itself.

Grechetto

Native of Central Italy, it comes from the land from which it takes its name; finds its ideal expression on chalky clay soils, that give it a pronounced minerality and a strong structure. Golden yellow colour that invites you to sip.

Trebbiano Spoletino

An ancient vine that amaze for its modernity. Historically used as a blending wine, it’s living a new glory: it’s now vinified in cru reaching outstanding results. Its characteristic acidity combines with an unexpected complexity in a never banal wine.

Sangiovese

Montepulciano

Its origins are from Abruzzo. It is traditionally part of the Montefalco Rosso blend. è tradizionalmente presente nel blend del Montefalco Rosso. An intense minerality and enveloping fruity aromas gradually leave room to a complex and balanced spiciness.

Chardonnay

A millenary wine, imported from France to Italy in 1800 but nowadays distinctive of our peninsula as well. A fruity and spicy full bouquet and a great vinification versatility make it irreplaceable. The Umbrian hilly environment enhances its mineral notes.

Merlot

Great elegance and marked minerality for an international wine who can guarantee excellent results. On chalky clay soils it gives rise to structured and fine wines.
