About the Producer:
Ferruccio Lamborghini,
the famed sports car manufacturer, purchased vineyard land near the
beautiful Lake Trasimeno in Umbria in 1971, where he grew grapes and
took up wine as a hobby. It was only a few years ago that his daughter,
Patrizia Lamborghini, turned this hobby into a serious business, turning
this into one of the most respected wineries the region of Umbria.
Most vineyards lie in calcareous clay and sand, along with limestone.
This location, outside the famed Umbrian city of Perugia, enjoys warm
and sunny weather almost year round. This area is now constantly seen
as one of great viticultural potential, a look that is a welcome change
to an area that was generally not known for its wine. Patrizia helped
change this image by upgrading the facilities and hiring winemaker
Riccardo Cotarella to take charge. There is a bright future for this
Umbrian estate, with wine that is sure to only get better year after
year.
