Azienda Agraria Carlo e Marco Carini

À propos du vignoble et des vins

The family’s agricultural business began its activity in the mid-800s – starting with grandpa Peppino and following with grandpa Alfonzo – by rearing calves and pigs and producing wine and olive oil for their own sustenance. The business began with Bruna and Armando who in 1970 started to market their products locally. From the year 2000 onwards, Carlo and Marco transformed the 140 hectare estate – which includes farmhouses and two small lakes – into an entity capable of maximising the territory’s potential, as well as the traditions of Umbria, through the production of organic wine and olive oil, ‘Cinta Senese’ sausages and cheese.

Located in a mid-hill area at the foot of Mount Tezio between 270 and 360 meters above sea level and surrounded by a landscape of rare beauty, the vineyards of Sangiovese, Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Grechetto and Trebbiano are all spur-pruned and cordon-trained on a territory that is for the most part marl-arenaceous.
