  • Start up year: 1995
  • Oenologist: Riccardo Cotarella, Emanuele Nardi
  • Bottles produced: 280.000
  • Hectares: 63
Còlpetrone became a member of the group in 1995 and is situated exactly in the centre of Umbria, a stone's throw from Foligno, Trevi and Bastardo. In a few years it became one of the key farms in the area of Montefalco, due to its spectacular red wine, Sagrantino of Montefalco. In a few years time this farm, practically unknown, has conquered the honour of the press through a series of national and international awards. The most important period of Sagrantino, started immediately after its vigorous entrance of production, the D.O.C.G. certification did the rest. To such an extent that Còlpetrone is actually one of the most popular in the entire region of Umbria.

Next to Sagrantino we propose Montefalco Rosso and in a few years there will also be a sensational version of Sagrantino Passito, a sweet red wine with along history that has become a true "speciality of the house". In the course of the year 2001 the investments have been increased with the acquisition of other portions of land that border Còlpetrone that will be put into use with the objective to grow steadily in quality. The present 45 acres of vineyard will become, within the year 2005, 111 to grow again to 148 within the year 2007. That makes Còlpetrone one of the more important holdings in Montefalco. Read more
