Perticaia

Perticaia was founded in the early 2000s with a humble beginning of just 6 acres of vineyards. The name "Perticaia," which historically refers to the plow, symbolizes the transition from sheep farming to agriculture, marking a deep connection between farmers and the land. This meaningful name was chosen by our owner to represent our beloved winery, nestled in Montefalco, in the heart of Umbria—Italy's green heart.

Over time, Perticaia has evolved towards an organic farming model, with a focus on sustainability and respect for the environment. Our winery is harmoniously integrated into the landscape, allowing the vines to thrive naturally within the local ecosystem. Today, Perticaia spans 50 acres, including fields, olive groves, and vineyards. We proudly cultivate native grape varieties like Sagrantino and Trebbiano Spoletino, which are emblematic of our region, alongside international varieties such as Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon. The winery is a family-owned venture, committed to producing wines that are true expressions of our terroir.

At Perticaia, our wine production varies each year, reflecting the unique character of each growing season. Depending on the climate, we produce between 100,000 and 120,000 bottles annually. Our dedicated team closely monitors the ripening process to ensure that the grapes reach their full potential. When the time is right, we harvest the grapes entirely by hand, a practice that respects the integrity of each variety, whether it’s our native or international grapes.

Once harvested, the grapes are handed over to our skilled enologist, who oversees the natural fermentation process using indigenous yeasts found on the grape skins. Depending on the wine we are crafting, the aging process takes place in either stainless steel tanks or carefully selected French oak barrels. Each vintage is a unique creation, yet our goal remains consistent: to produce wines with great character and elegance that can be enjoyed and appreciated by wine lovers everywhere.
