The Castello della Sala is located in Umbria, not far from the Tuscan border and about 18km from the historic city of Orvieto. This impressive medieval castle is surrounded by 500 hectares of land, of which 170 hectares are vineyards located at an altitude of 220-470m above sea level. The vineyards stretch across gentle hills that are so typical of this landscape. The soil tends to be clayey, the vineyards are well oriented towards the sunrise, and the microclimate is characterized by cold – but not too harsh – winters and very warm summers, during which the morning fog leaves its mark on the ripening grapes. The area of Castello della Sala is excellent for the production of white wines. The only exception: the Pinot Nero, which can best express itself in this soil.
