Perticaia

Before launching his estate at Gualdo Cattaneo, Guido Guardigli spent several years doing oenological practice in Umbria and Tuscany. In 1990 he decided to buy a farm with a part of olive and a hectare and half dedicated to vine. He begins so the project of Perticaia (plow in Umbrian dialect), which now includes a surface of about 15 hectares of vines, of which 7 are cultivated to Sagrantino, 2 to trebbiano and 4 hectares to Sangiovese. The cellar is built on the model Guido Guardigli has always wanted, in a natural basin with vineyards exposed to south-southwest wide on all slopes around. Today in the company is valuable the contribution of the enologist Emiliano Falsini, which, in line with Guido's oenological idea, he activates all processes of transformation with indigenous yeasts.
