Castle of Magione

The Castello di Magione collection embodies the identity of a winery deeply connected to the Umbrian territory and the hills surrounding Lake Trasimeno. Here, the historical tradition of the castle meets a modern production project, with wines born from vineyards cultivated in the DOC Colli del Trasimeno, designed to express elegance, balance, and character.

The connection with the Trasimeno territory

The name of the winery derives from the Castello di Magione, the heart of the company and a symbolic place born between 1150 and 1170 as an hospitium for pilgrims on the Via Francigena. This connection to the history of the territory is still part of the identity of the Castello di Magione wines, produced on hills situated between 250 and 350 meters above sea level, in a context particularly suited for viticulture.

All the vineyards fall within the DOC Colli del Trasimeno and have been renewed with high-density plantings to best enhance red and white grape varieties. The varietal composition includes Pinot Noir, Merlot, Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Canaiolo for the reds, while among the white grapes, Grechetto, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Trebbiano stand out.

The style of Castello di Magione wines

This selection is ideal for those seeking wines capable of combining immediacy and personality. The work in the winery, inaugurated in 2009 and equipped with modern winemaking and storage technologies, is complemented by the maturation of red wines in the historic location of the Castle. The result is a proposal that looks to quality with a contemporary approach, yet always rooted in the Umbrian landscape.

Among the wines in the collection, Morcinaia represents a coherent expression of this style: a red that recalls the vocation of the territory and the care with which the company interprets its grapes. It is an interesting choice for those wishing to discover authentic production, with a well-defined territorial profile.
