The company has started in 2020 the conversion to organic farming. In the vineyard herbicides are not used, the soil is grassed between the rows to reduce mechanical work, erosion and runoff. The vineyard is treated with the technique of green manure generally favino and soil fertility is replenished with organic and mineral fertilizers without the use of chemicals. In the cellar are used only indigenous yeasts and neither microfiltrations nor stabilizations are done.

Exclusive Assisi & Sagrantino di Montefalco Wines from Florence

It’s also the region where one of Italy’s finest wines, Sagrantino di Montefalco, is produced. Ever-changing, untouched landscapes in the green of winding valleys make Umbria a region that will never fail to amaze.
Umbria is also a region rich in art, history, culture and spirituality—characterized by an important cultural heritage. Assisi is a town with religion very close to its heart. Visitors shouldn’t be surprised to see monks in long brown robes roaming the streets or bands of pilgrims walking the country roads surrounding the town. Pilgrims have been coming to Assisi since the 13th century to venerate St. Francesco, who was born and buried here. But you don’t have to be religious to enjoy one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world, which is also one of Italy’s most spell-binding gems.
