Roberto di Filippo worked on the Sagrantino project for a long time. He had owned vineyards in the right zone for some time, but the cellar was in the wrong place by a few 100 metres as the crow flies, so a new one had to be built specifically.

Di Filippo Azienda Agraria s.s.

Azienda Agricola Italo di Filippo lies in Umbria, just a few kilometres from Assisi. In good weather, the Filippos can see the church of St Francis. The family originally comes from Naples, but Roberto di Filippo’s parents moved to Umbria in 1974.

Unbound by local tradition, Roberto di Filippo’s father planted the roughly 20 ha of vineyards with a colourful mix of varieties. This offers a broad range of very different wines, from typical Sangiovese, Cannaiolo, Trebbiano and Grechetto to Merlot, Pinot and Barbera.

Umbria’s wines are nowhere near as famous as Tuscany’s. Nevertheless, or perhaps for that very reason, many remain insider tips, especially when tended by an artist of winemaking. Roberto is in his element when putting into practice the theory he learned during his oenology studies at renowned Conegliano.

It begins with the grapes. Only the highest-quality fruit, achieved through optimum vineyard care, is used for the wines. Quality before quantity is also taken for granted in yields per hectare. Cultivation uses exclusively natural products and methods. Once optimum ripeness has been determined, grapes are picked at the perfect moment, entirely by hand, then gently pressed whole. The results are impressive, or better still, a pleasure to drink. You can almost taste the feeling for and love of wine.
