The experience

The tasting unfolds across the 12-hectare estate in the hills above Lake Trasimeno, a few kilometers from Perugia. You walk through the sun-drenched vineyards with a guide, then move into the barrel cellar to see how the wines are aged in French oak. The six wines you taste span the range the winery produces: Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon on the red side; Grechetto and Chardonnay among the whites; and Trebbiano Toscano. Each wine arrives paired with bruschetta drizzled with local olive oil, a selection of regional cheeses, and cold cuts. The pairing is built to show how the wines sit with food.

The guide walks you through what makes each wine, the grape varieties, and how the pairings work. The family has been working this land for over a century, and the operation now focuses on sustainable practices across the vineyard. The whole experience runs about two hours. If weather turns bad, the vineyard walk may not happen, though the tasting and cellar visit will go ahead as planned.
