Lamborghini

The Lamborghini estate lies between the south side of the Trasimeno lake and the beautiful medieval village of Panicale. Situated on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, Cortona and the Chiana valley are only few kms. away from the estate.

The property was purchased in the 60’s by Ferruccio Lamborghini who, traveling in this area, fell in love with the soft rolling hills landscape. After his retirement from the famous car manufacturing activity he decided to go back to his roots: being a farmer.

In the middle of the 90’s Patrizia Lamborghini, the daughter, succeeded in the management of the estate pursuing, and even strengthening that ambition of making quality wines that her father had in the past.

Since then the greater part of the vineyards has been replanted preferring Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grechetto.

At the present the new vineyards extend for a total area of 30 hectares but future plans of the actual ownership foresee the replanting of the entire vineyard area.

The extreme search for quality and the will to evidence the characteristics of the territory allowed the beginning of a dramatic improvement regarding both the management of the vineyards and the wine making conduction supervisioned by Riccardo Cotarella since more than 20 years. The result of these efforts brought forth very high standard modern wines.
