Perticaia winery
A territory, a vine, a wine. It is natural that right here, in the center of green Umbria, among hills cultivated with vineyards and olive trees, dotted with towers, villages and medieval castles, it was decided to create Perticaia. After the purchase of the land, substantial work begins on the planting of new vineyards and the construction of a modern cellar, in perfect balance with the surrounding environment and taking care to maintain the appearance of the old farms in the area. Respectful of the teachings of the past, the company today boasts around fifty hectares of vineyards. Of these, more than ten hectares are planted in Sagrantino, as well as one and a half hectares of olive groves: "Vigna delle Querce" is bordered by centuries-old plants preserved after the transformation of the land, once used as arable land; “Vigna Attone” runs alongside the stream of the same name and “Vigna Montioni” takes its name from the family of the old owners. The land, all hilly, is located on a slight slope, at an altitude between 320 and 350 m above sea level, mainly exposed to the south, south-west. As per tradition for the Perticaia winery, after the harvest, which takes place manually in the cellar, each production step is aimed at enhancing what the season and the territory have been able to express in the fruit. Today Perticaia is a model organic company for the territory. A cellar capable of producing wines of great expressiveness and elegance, to be discovered one by one to come into contact with Umbria, and with those which are the most representative vines of the entire region. and the Montefalco area in particular.
