Description
In a dominant position in the hills of Orvieto, 31.8 ha wine farm for sale. The property comprises about 31.8 hectares of land that includes 22.2 hectares of Orvieto DOC vineyard, a small olive grove of 120 trees, and 5.0 ha of fenced truffle ground. The main building, a stone farmhouse renovated in 2018, houses a small winery and the owners’ home.
The farm is located about 10 minutes from a small town with all basic services, while the historic center of Orvieto is 15 minutes away and has all services (banks, post offices...), as well as providing a quick connection to most of the cities of Umbria and even Rome.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The farmhouse (304 sqm – 3,271 sqft) is on two levels and was entirely renovated in 2018 with Sicilian stones. With the occasion they also opted for the installation of solar panels for the production of hot water and underfloor heating system. The photovoltaic system provides power to the basement. All doors and windows are aluminum double-glazed. The furnishings of the house, which are included in the sale, have also been finely chosen with modern and classy style.
On the ground floor is the winemaking cellar (fermentation, storage and changing room for employees) and the living area of the owners’ house, consisting of kitchen with large living room, bedroom and bathroom. The upper floor, on the other hand, houses the tasting room (accessible from the outside and characterized by a glass floor that ensures views of the fermentation room) and the sleeping area of the home consisting of bedroom with bathroom and study corner. The heating plant can be accessed from outside the building.
At the back of the house there is then an agricultural warehouse (56 sqm) to shelter vehicles and equipment for the care of the fields and vines.
EXTERIOR
The property is strategically located and spreads over about 31.8 hectares (78.6 acres) of land, mostly covered by vines. The arable land (5.1 ha) is set on a slight hillside and could easily be used to expand the vineyard. The woodland (about 5.0 ha), on the other hand, is mostly used for truffles, registered and fully fenced. An olive grove (about 120 trees) is located a few meters from the farmhouse and allows the production of excellent olive oil.
The Orvieto DOC vineyard (22.2 ha) hosts plants of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grechetto, Chardonnay and Viognier varieties and is exploited to produce about 30,000 bottles of wine a year, preferring quality over quantity. The size of the vineyard would allow in any case to reach a much higher production (up to 150,000 bottles per year).
The winery produces the following wines:
- Umbria IGT Sparkling Brut: 100% Chardonnay
- Umbria Bianco IGT: 100% Grechetto
- Umbria Bianco IGT: 100% Grechetto
- Umbria Bianco IGT: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Grechetto 30%.
- Umbria Rosso IGT: 80% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon
- Umbria Rosso IGT: 100% Sangiovese
