Antonelli San Marco: A Testament to Time and Taste
Nestled in the heart of the Montefalco DOCG area, Antonelli San Marco stands as a historic winery that has been crafting exceptional wines since 1881. Spanning an impressive one hundred ninety hectares (469 acres), this estate was acquired by the Antonelli family, who brought a legacy of passion for viticulture to the land. The heart of the winery is strategically located just beneath the original manor house, featuring cellars that are completely underground and ingeniously designed for gravity vinification.
This innovative approach allows pressed grapes to flow naturally into fermentation tanks while pomace is discarded without the need for pumps, enhancing the purity of the wine. Committed to sustainable practices, Antonelli San Marco exclusively uses grapes grown through organic farming methods. This dedication ensures that every bottle reflects carefully evaluated characteristics, offering consumers the added assurance of organic certification for both the grapes and the wines.
Beyond its wines, Antonelli San Marco embraces wine-tourism through its beautifully restored antique farmhouse, Casale Satriano. Guests can enjoy independent apartments with stunning views, a refreshing swimming pool, and direct access to the vibrant vineyards that surround the property. Located within a short drive from some of Umbria's most enchanting medieval villages, this charming getaway offers a unique blend of relaxation and adventure.
Furthermore, the winery's cooking school, Cucina in Cantina, invites food lovers to dive into the culinary traditions of Umbria. With engaging courses on local cuisine, scheduled lunches and dinners for groups, as well as wine tastings and guided tours of the historic winery, Antonelli San Marco provides an immersive experience that celebrates the region’s rich culinary and vinicultural heritage.
