What inspired us?
The Italian history and craftsmanship in the area for wine making, being in the middle
between Brunello,
Nobile
de Montepulciano, Syrah de Cortona and Sagrantino Montefalco. Being in the DOC of Colli de Trasimeno del
Trasimeno, and being able to work on land that had a rich history in red wine, white wine and Vin Santo with
the
fame of the best wine of Tuoro sul Trasimeno.
We are combining this rich history of wine making with new insights in optimal utilisation of anthycyanins,
tannins and polyphenols of the red and white varieties for excellent taste, longevity and low sulfite use.
The
selection of specific grapes with extremely high polyphenolic content like Sagrantino, Petit Verdot, Tannat,
Colorino, Cannaiolo Nero blended in with traditionals as Sangiovese, Grenache, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon
to
reach this high balance in taste.
For whites, Umbrian varities as Trebbiano Spoletino and Grechetto di Todi, uniquley high in polyphenols, are
used in combination with classic Trebbiano and Greco di Tufa.
The Umbrian terroir has created a unique playfied for the winemaker to express his creativity for unique
tastes
with a wide variety of healthy substances.
The extreme climate conditions of Umbria, being close to the Apenines, with cold winters
and warm summers,
strong winds with abundant rain in springs and autumns unlocks in the plants a defensive system that induces
a
high production of polyphenolic compounds in the olive leaves and fruits. In the typical Umbrian varieties
of
Morailo and Dolce Agogia, we see the highest amount of anti-oxidants in the olive leaves with high
concentration
of Oleuropein (cancer treatment), Luteolin (anti cancer cell profileration) and Hydroxytyrosol (cardio
vascular
benefits). This is the perfect basis for olive leaves for tea making for whihc the leaves are harvested in
the
best season for the abundance of these healthy components in the leaves. Also as a result the olive oil of
Umbria is very rich in the polyphenols.
The history of the land, in the shadow of Castle Montegualandro, in the localitat of Fonte
San’t Angelo brings
piece of mind and Italian tradition. The heritage of being close to Siena, Cortona and Asisisi, together
with
the beauty of the landscape near lago Trasimeno with its beautiful three islands and overlooking Monte
Amiata in
the far distance. The playgound of Hannibal in the second Punic war, where he defeated the Roman army,
utilizing
the hills and the lake to his strategic advantage for blistering victory whilst being outnumbered by the
Romans.
Our vineyards and olive orchards are part of this fascinating scenery and the replay of the Battle of
Trasimeno
(217 b.C) can be visited.

“Never mind the Gap“
Living Younger Longer
The rural Umbrian landscape is the ultimate terroir where plants naturally evolved to be rich in
polyphenic compounds.
From the well known tannic rich Sagarantino, Grenache and Sangiovese grapes, over olive leaves and oils
extremely rich in antioxidants varietals Moraiolo and Dolce Agogia, to even specific white grape varieties
that have have the highest known polyphenolic content like in the Trebbiano Spoletino variety.
Starting from harvesting these fruits allows us to make products that are both rich in taste and in
healthy components for enjoyable whilst healthy moments.
