Through the vineyards by off-road Polaris, then six wines

Gualdo Cattaneo

Sagrantino country in Umbria is all slope and no straight road, which is why the estate takes people through it in an open off-roader rather than on foot.

How the day goes

  1. Out from the estate into the vineyards, on the tracks between the rows.
  2. The ridge lines of Gualdo Cattaneo, with wine towns sitting on the hilltops.
  3. Down to the cellar, then the tasting with the estate's own food on the table.

The tracks are rough and open to the sky, so it is dust or rain depending on the day; the estate's cave tasting at Frontignano asks nothing of you.
