Poggio Lupo, Allerona

Poggio Lupo, Allerona

Poggio Lupo in Allerona produces special wines from local grape varieties such as Verdello, a medieval variety.
The vines of this variety are already around 60 years old. Over the past few years, owner Massimo Morgante has completed his project: the new construction of the cellar, including 4 guest rooms on a hill near Allerona.


Save

Poggio Lupo, worth a visit! Discover the wines and explore the surroundings. Part of the access road is a “strada bianca”: known from cycling tours in Tuscany, for example. Public roads that are not asphalted. From this special location of the estate, you have a distant view of the cathedral of Orvieto! Very beautiful to see from a distance of over 15 km.

More info can be found on the website of Poggio Lupo!

The wines of Poggio Lupo are exclusively available at Umbriaweine. Click here for the overview.

Castello di Montegiove

Cellar Castello Montegiove

Castello di Montegiove has a history spanning many centuries. From the very beginning, wine and olive oil have been produced here. The Misciattelli Mocenigo Soranzo family has owned this castle with over 1,200 hectares since the 17th century. Since 2008, the successor Lorenzo has taken over the whole estate and has had the castle, including the cellar, renovated.

Montegiove belongs to the Orvieto wine region and produces 1 white wine, 1 rosé wine and 4 red wines, plus a top-quality DOP olive oil. These products are now available at Umbriaweine. Wines with grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Sagrantino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Canaiolo Nero. These wines are dedicated to the ancestors who made all of this possible.

The estate today has around 9 hectares of vineyards that have been replanted over the past decades. In addition, hundreds of olive trees, some of which are over 100 years old.

More info can be found on the website of Castello di Montegiove.

Olive oil by Frantoio Carlo Peltristo, Pietrafitta

Olivenöle von Carlo Pelstristo, Pietrefitta

Olive oil by Carlo Peltristo. Top quality from Pietrafitta and exclusively from the first cold pressing.
A true family business: Carlo is the 4th generation, and his family has been producing the best olive oils in this
village with passion since 1870, which are then marketed.

We at Umbriaweine are proud to have met him and to combine his friendly nature
with interesting olive oil tastings, where he tells us about the different varieties he uses. The harvest
(usually) begins in mid-October and ends in the first weeks of December. That is when our
olives are at their best quality, according to Carlo. Only then can we guarantee the best-quality olive oil for
our customers, who are very important to us.

Frantoio Peltristo produces various oils, but also oils with different flavours.
Think of garlic, lemon, ginger, peperoncino and more, all for a healthy and long
life! Quality of life comes first in Umbria, and the inhabitants of this region are known
for cooking a lot with regional and seasonal products. So no strawberries in winter,
but rather oranges or lemons.

Let yourself be delighted by the unique quality of these olive oils and live like the
inhabitants of Umbria.

Wine journey Umbria

In April 2025 we organised our first trip to Umbria. With a group of 7 people, we made a 7-day wine, culture and culinary journey, during which we visited 6 of our winemakers and also included an olive oil tasting.

Umbria has many different wines and dishes that you will then discover together with us. From the north, in Umbertide, Lake Trasimeno, Orvieto, to Montefalco, the home of Sagrantino. Travel with us and get to know Umbria.

Are you interested in such a trip? Write me an email at: andre@umbriaweine.de. I will then inform you personally. All of this without obligation, of course. The expected cost per person will be around € 1,395.00, including overnight stays, wine tastings, and some lunches and dinners.

Not included in this price:

Travel by plane or your own vehicle to Umbria. If you come by plane, we will pick you up from the airport. Flight to Perugia – Assisi airport.
Personal expenses.
Breakfast and/or other dinners or lunches.
Talk to us: much extra is possible for a small additional charge.

The next trip is planned between 15 and 31 May 2026, but for a group we can also organise a trip for you at other times! We will announce a complete programme here soon.

Thank you very much,

André Keuter
Owner of Umbriaweine
