When we booked a tasting tour with Madonna del Latte through Winedering, we found exactly the fine artistry, tradition and innovation we had come to Tuscany/Umbria to experience. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Ruta and their youngest child in arms, we felt welcome. As she gently ushered us to the terrace where a graciously laid table awaited us under an elegantly rustic pavilion, we were immediately at ease and in awe of the beauty of the vineyard stretching out in all directions. The tour began when Leon appeared and shared the origins of the vineyard, effortlessly in both English and German. He was simultaneously informative and charming as he told his story and spoke about the land, the soil, the types of grapes and how the vineyard evolved. The family’s dedication to both stewarding the land responsibly and producing unique wines of the highest quality was evident in the way he spoke so knowledgeably about the science and artistry of their operation. We learned how Madonna del Latte is invested in both the local wisdom of generations and ecologically sound practices for cultivating the land, as well as the most sophisticated technology for processing and bottling the wine. After passing through the fields and the fascinating fermentation cellars and other rooms, we returned to the terrace table to taste the curated selection of exquisite, prize-winning wines. The ambience could not have been more enjoyable as we sipped the absolutely delicious vintages and admired the countryside. It was a truly memorable experience. Leon and Ruta have created a very special place that is bound to delight and endure for generations to come.

About Winery and Wines

The ancient estate of Madonna del Latte is located in the hills between Orvieto and Lake Bolsena, in a landscape shaped by history and volcanic soil. 

Our story began in 2000, when Leon Zwecker’s parents founded the winery with a deep love for the land and a clear vision: to create wines that reflect the unique character of this place.Today, we are proud to be the second generation continuing that journey. With dedication and care, we craft wines that honor our family’s roots, guided by a deep respect for nature and a love for this place we call home. Welcoming guests from around the world, we share our wines through tastings paired with local artisanal specialties. 

At 450 meters above sea level, our vines flourish on the volcanic soil, nourished by plenty of sun and ventilation. The spectacular barrel cellar carved into tuff stone, likely once an Etruscan tomb, provides perfect conditions for the wines to age in French oak barrels.

In 2007, a modern fermentation cellar was annexed to this antique structure. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, it allows us to produce wines that meet the highest international standards.

We produce wines with profound respect for the environment. Thus, we do not use herbicides, synthetic fertilizers or insecticides. For us, this is essential. Our vineyards are located in an environmentally protected area in close vicinity to a mineral water source. As early as the sixteenth century, Pope Paul III himself already appreciated the land's suitability for growing grapes and winemaking. He highly regarded the red wines produced in this region as “the most perfect for both summer and winter“ and often had vast quantities brought to Rome. Our spectacular barrel cellar, which was dug into the volcanic tuff in ancient times, was most likely an Etruscan tomb. The cellar’s temperature and humidity offer ideal conditions for the French oak barrels we use for aging our wine. In 2007 we expanded this ancient part by building a modern fermentation cellar that houses all the equipment necessary for producing wines that can rival those of the highest standards of international quality. Son Leon Zwecker, who completed his training at winemaking schools in Austria and has gained extensive working experience in California and New Zealand, is now responsible for the production. He works closely together with Paolo Peira, a Roman enologist, who earned his qualification at the Faculté d’Œnologie de Bordeaux.
