Antonelli History
The estate is mentioned in
several medieval documents, in which San Marco de Corticellis is described as a
Longobard cohort and one of the territories most suited for the cultivation of
vines and olives.
From the 13th to
the 19th century the property belonged to the bishopric of Spoleto.
In fact the current boundaries are practically the same as those described in a
13th century document currently preserved in the Bishop’s Archive.
In 1881 it was bought by Francesco Antonelli, a lawyer from Spoleto.

The Estate, Organic farming
The property extends over an
entire 170 hectare portion of land located in the centre of the Montefalco DOCG
region. Surrounded by woodlands, the hilly area is an ideal microclimate for
vineyards and olive groves. The cellar is located in the heart of the estate,
below the manor house. The wines are made exclusively from the estate’s
organically grown grapes in order to offer a product whose potential,
characteristics and quality can be controlled and evaluated at every phase of
production.
The estate also offers a
cooking school Cucina in Cantina, courses in Umbrian cuisine, masterclasses
with known Italian chefs, wine tasting and guided tours of the historic estate.
