Castelgrosso
The Castelgrosso winery is an Umbrian reality located in Castel Ritaldi, in the area between Spoleto and Montefalco. The property belongs to the Mancini family, of Roman origins, but present in the territory since the distant 1800s. Born as a traditional agricultural company dedicated to the cultivation of cereals, olives, and vines, it has increasingly specialized in viticulture, focusing on the production of wines capable of expressing the typical character of the terroir. The estate is located in a historically very suitable area for vines, which have dwelled in these lands for millennia and have always constituted an important resource for the agricultural and rural economy of the region.
The property extends in a wonderful hilly area, characterized by the presence of medium-textured soils, predominantly clayey, very suitable for the needs of both red and white grape varieties. The cool, continental climate favors slow ripening of the grapes, which arrive at harvest accumulating particularly rich and intense aromatic compounds.particularly rich and intense. The love for the land and the experience of more generations have always guided the management of the estate towards principles of environmental sustainability, in order to preserve nature intact and unspoiled. Agricultural activity fits into a broader vision of the territory, considered as an ecosystem to be preserved and defended without altering its millennia-old balances.
The company philosophy is oriented towards the production of a range of wines capable of expressing the best customs of the Montefalco area. In the choice of grape varieties, the two most famous native varieties of the territory have been prioritized: Sagrantino for red grapes and Trebbiano Spoletino for white grapes. However, the estate also has some vineyards of Sangiovese, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Malvasia di Candia, which produce grapes used for some blending labels.
