About Winery and Wines
In 1969 the Dubini family bought the property “Palazzone”, constructed by Cardinal Teodorico at the bidding of Pope Boniface VIII as a hostel for pilgrims on their way to Rome to celebrate the Jubilee of 1300 A.D. Today after a restoration with respect for the noble architecture, “Palazzone” is a boutique hotel with elegant suites. The hilly portion of the land adjacent to Rocca Ripesena, with its superb view of Orvieto on its majestic crag, consisted of sedimentary soil and clay.
Angelo Dubini decided to plant 25 hectares to vines of varieties that he expected would make wine of great complexity and character. In 1982 his two sons, Giovanni and Lodovico, made the first small vintage from these grapes. In1988 their vintage was sufficient to justify the construction of a winery to process all their own grapes and also to organise and begin the commercial marketing of what is now “Palazzone” wine regarded as one of the most significant labels in Umbria.
Located near Orvieto in Umbria, Locanda Palazzone is a historic country house dating back to the 13th century. Originally built as a residence or possibly a hostel for travelers and pilgrims, this architectural marvel now stands as one of Umbria’s most evocative country houses. With a rich history connected to the Papal Jubilee of 1300, Locanda Palazzone combines medieval charm with modern hospitality. Set atop a hill, it offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience for guests looking to explore both history and wine.
The wines of Palazzone capture the essence of Umbria’s terroir, blending tradition with artisanal craftsmanship. The vineyard’s unique soils and climate contribute to the high quality of each wine, offering guests a chance to experience the magic of winemaking during their stay. Whether exploring the vineyard or learning about the winemaking process, visitors can savor wines that reflect the rich history and natural beauty of the region. Each bottle tells a story of place, culture, and craftsmanship.
