Choose one of the many tasting experience available, which are designed to delight those who would like to like an authentic wine experience in an unforgettable location.
The XVIII Century ancient farmhouse and the charming garden-like vineyard
Located on top of a plateau 210 metres above sea level in the so-called “100 Farms Area”, the farmhouse is surrounded by approximately 170 hectares of land, mostly cultivated with vineyards and olive trees and surrounded by dry stone walls.
The garden-like vineyard brings together the two concepts of functionality and aesthetics. The rows of vines were planted according to the design conceived by the great landscape designer Fernando Caruncho. The vine spaliers draw harmonious parallel waves that follow each other for about 3 km.
In addition, 1,500 centuries-old olive trees have been rearranged in 24 islands organically positioned throughout the entire surface of the vineyard as well as along the historic allays of the farm. The olive trees are the result of a historical-monumental recovery work. The CNR (National Research Council) of Perugia dated and filed a record of all the olive trees, some of which are 800 years old and have a diameter that exceeds 2.5 metres. The combination of olive trees and vines creates a harmonious visual contrast that brings alongside the silver green of the vines with the intense green of the olive trees.
