THE WINERY

This is the heart of Terre de la Custodia, where grapes become a taste experience. The winery is in the hills of Gualdo Cattaneo, just 5 km from the historic centre of Montefalco. Of recent construction, it is on two levels, one of which underground housing the barrel cellar and grape-drying room.

There are 62 stainless steel tanks designed down to the smallest details by the company’s engineering staff and made by a local firm of artisans. They all have temperature control (cooling and heating) and the fermenting tanks for the red wines also have “pumping over” and “punching down”, either manual or automatic (PLC).

Up to 1.500.000 litres can be stored in stainless steel. Process management and control is by computer. Closed-tank air presses are used for cryomaceration of the grapes.

IN THE BASEMENT AND THE 1.000 SQUARE METRE STORES THERE ARE:

The drying facility, specially designed in-house, keeps the grapes in optimum condition for extended periods of time after picking.

Opposite the winery is a large two-storey farmhouse accommodating the show-and-tasting rooms, offices, shop, a large room with a fire and a panoramic terrace, and other rooms for clients and friends.
