Geographically nestled in the picturesque heart of Montefalco, Italy, Tenuta Bellafonte Estate is a treasured gem in the Umbria region. It's more than a vineyard; it's a sanctuary where the art of viniculture mingles with the natural beauty of the Italian countryside. This 30-hectare estate is carefully rooted on gentle summits, overlooking lush valleys and emerald olive groves that create a striking spectacle for the beholder. The majority of this land, about 21 hectares, is dedicated to the cultivation of Grenache, typical of the region, to produce rich, robust, and tasty red wines. The remaining 9 hectares are mainly devoted to the production of the native grape Trebbiano Spoletino, used for white wine. The estate, which has made waves in the wine world since its opening in 2008, pays meticulous attention to the preservation of the natural ecosystem. The founder, Peter Heilbron, staunchly believes in the philosophy of respecting nature and using sustainable farming techniques. This is reflected in every bottle produced - a wine that not only tastes divine, but also mirrors the environmental integrity of the estate. Tenuta Bellafonte wines are a treat for connoisseurs. Each bottle is the result of hard work, dedication, and craftsmanship spread across different growing seasons. The wines in the range reflect the richness of the terroir, with a palette of ripe reds, vibrant whites and delicate roses that are all intensely aromatic and delightfully balanced. Visiting Tenuta Bellafonte is a sensory experience.
