Antonelli San Marco

One hundred and seventy-five hectares in a unique corpus in the centre of the DOCG area of Montefalco. This can be read on the website of Azienda Antonelli San Marco, a beautiful Umbrian company, one of the most representative of the area. Clayey soils rich in limestone that have different geological origins and, precisely for this reason, give the wines intense and varied nuances. Ten hectares are dedicated to olive groves, fifty to vineyards, arranged on the tops of the hills and facing south and west. Mainly native varieties are cultivated, such as Grechetto and Trebbiano Spoletino, Sangiovese and, of course, Sagrantino. At the centre of the property, just below the old manor house, is the cellar, underground and designed for gravity-flow vinification, without the use of pumps. Only grapes of their own production, from organic farming, are vinified.
