Petrignano and Bella Vista

Cantina Goccia has two vineyards - Petrignano and Bella Vista - located in the heart of the Colli del Trasimeno wine production area of Umbria. At an elevation of 300 metres to the west of the beautiful Lake Trasimeno, the vineyards are blessed with rich clay soils and cool breezes.

Umbrian Sangiovese, Pinot Nero, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Grechetto and Vermentino are all grown on spurred cordon-trained vines.

We have been investing in a program of replanting and extending our vineyard, choosing cultivars and wine styles which are characteristic of our strong Umbrian roots. There are 5000 vines per hectare and we have established a programme of careful management of the soil through organic feed and sensitive use of tillage. We are located on the western shores of Lake Trasimeno in the DOC Colli del Trasimeno. This is an area where there are remnants of ancient volcanoes and the vines bear down through clay and limestone into the hard, mineral rich volcanic tufa.

Our guiding philosophy is to manage our carbon footprint and produce wine in the most sustainable way possible whether it be in our organic vineyards, our own production of energy in our winery and using packaging such as paper bottles, Bag in Box and very low weight glass bottles.
