Description
From the most beautiful company's vineyard, called 'Campo del Guardiano' by generations of farmers, comes this selection of Orvieto Classico Superiore, which is aged for several months in bottles lying in a hollow in the tufa under a chestnut wood. The complexity of the aromas and the freshness of the fruit remain intact over the years, demonstrating its surprising capacity for ageing.

On the sedimentary and clay soil, with an exciting view of Orvieto's cliff, they plant 24 hectares of vineyards to produce wines of great complexity and character.
Starting in the 1980s, under the guidance of his son Giovanni, Palazzone began a journey made up of small vinifications and bottlings, experiences necessary to arrive in 1988 at the winery's construction. Thus was born one of the most significant wineries in all of Umbria, now in its third generation with grandson Pietro. Read more
