Maliardo
Intense, well-structured, and full-bodied
A rich and intense red wine made from native Umbrian grapes harvested by hand and grown on mainly clayey-marly soils, located on the hills of Collemancio di Cannara, at an altitude of 340 metres.
Fermentation takes place in steel containers after a few days of carbonic maceration. In order to enhance the rich fruitiness, the wine does not undergo maturation in wood and ages only in steel, with subsequent refinement of 6 months in the bottle.
Wine not pasteurised or filtered.

Our Olive Oil
Our olive groves flourish in clay-marl soils where over 500 trees belonging to nineteen native varieties have been carefully tended, many for generations.
We specialise in the prized Moraiolo variety, an ancient Umbrian cultivar that produces extraordinarily rich oils high in antioxidants, alongside the rare San Felice monovarietal oil known for its elegant almond and white flower notes.
Each harvest is done entirely by hand, and every drop of oil from our DOP-certified trees reflects both the exceptional terroir and our commitment to preserving these ancient varieties.
