Tenuta Bellafonte is located in the most uncontaminated heart of Umbria in Bevagna, near the tiny and delightful village of Torre del Colle which, once passed, reveals a breathtaking panorama: hills and knolls that alternate with woods, among the vineyards and olive trees with disheveled silver foliage.
The vineyards are located at an altitude varying between 260 and 320 meters above sea level, resting on sunny, tenacious and rocky soils; they alternate the typical clay of the area with marly and arenaceous formations. Approximately 11 hectares of vineyards in total, with old rows and recent plants, give an idea of the size of the project, regardless of the small numbers, aimed at the highest possible quality, with particular attention to the naturalness of the processes thanks to the fermentations activated by indigenous yeasts, and to no clarification or filtration of the wines.
The rest of the property, which covers a total of 30 hectares, includes woodland, a small orchard and 2,500 olive trees, mostly moraiolo, capable of producing an excellent extra virgin olive oil.
Designed to have a complete energy balance and a very low environmental impact, the Estate has photovoltaic panels and a biomass boiler that also uses plant residues produced in the vineyards.
