Antonelli San Marco
Antonelli San Marco is a wine-producing reality that develops in the territory of Montefalco in a constant combination of traditional approach and continuous research. Under the competent and innovative guidance of Filippo Antonelli since 1986, the winery has become a reference point for the entire area, strong of a passion handed down through five generations and a wine heritage that has its roots in the Middle Ages. Since 1881, the Antonelli estate has indeed established itself for its remarkable innovative sensitivity, aimed at transforming the San Marco estate and modernizing vineyard cultivation.
The San Marco Antonelli estate extends over about 170 hectares that host a remarkable biodiversity: from vineyards to olive groves, passing through woods and animal husbandry. The 50 hectares dedicated to the vineyard area are concentrated in the village area and extend over gentle slopes. The clay-limestone soils are surrounded by some wooded plots that act as thermoregulators and are managed according to the principles of organic farming, aimed at the production of delicately certified organic wines rather than powerful, elegant and balanced. The rows of native grape varieties with red berries, such as Sagrantino, and white berries, such as Trebbiano Spoletino and Grechetto, follow the slope of the hills exposed to the south and west. The winemaking and racking reflect the desire to safeguard the typicity: both are indeed carried out by gravity, avoiding damaging the integrity of the skins and thus preserving their richness of tannins. While carefully respecting traditions, Filippo's estate does not fail to experiment with a view of constant research work: in the cellar, one can therefore find terracotta and ceramic amphorae, as well as truncated-conical concrete barrels.
The identity of Antonelli San Marco is well recognizable in the interpretation of Montefalco wines, whose organic winemaking is for Filippo the most faithful representation of the expressive peculiarity of the terroir San Marco. The production of the winery today is a symbol not only of the respect that theAntonelli San Marco is a wine-producing reality that develops in the territory of Montefalco in a constant combination of traditional approach and continuous research.
