Antonelli San Marco
Organic producer in Montefalco, Umbria, since 1881.
About the winery
One hundred seventy-five hectares (430 acres) in a single estate, which was bought by Antonelli family in 1881, making it one of the historical wineries of the Montefalco DOCG area. In 2009 the conversion to organic farming has been completed for all our products. The plots, clayey and rich in limestone, have various geological origins: some are deep, while others are rocky, thereby providing intense and varied nuances to the wines. Ten hectares (24 acres) are dedicated to olive groves, while slightly more than 50 (123 acres) are covered by vineyards. We cultivate native varietals: Grechetto and Trebbiano Spoletino for the whites, while the red varietals are mainly Sangiovese and Sagrantino.

History & Geography
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. Between the 13th and 19th centuries, the property belonged to the bishop of Spoleto. In 1883 it was purchased by Francesco Antonelli, a lawyer from Spoleto. He began a radical transformation and modernization of the planting and farming. Antonelli estate eventually started bottling and marketing its wines in 1979. With a great history behind them, the Antonelli’s are passionately committed to caring for their territory and to ensuring the quality of their organic wine and extra virgin olive oil.
