Wines of Montefalco at Cheney Mansion
Located in the central Italian region of Umbria, winemaking in Montefalco dates back to the Etruscans, though it came close to abandonment in the 1970s. The wines of this historic area were undeniably worthy of revival and global recognition, and the rise of Sagrantino to noble-wine status stands as one of the most compelling success stories of Italy’s native-grape renaissance. Come explore the native grapes of Montefalco and see why this tiny town has taken the wine world by storm. Light snacks to go with your tastings are included in your registration.
