Castello di Magione wine is terrific.
This winery is located near enough to Rome, west of Perugia. The castle dates from around 1150. It began as a hospice opened by the Knights Hospitallers for pilgrim travelers
walking the the pilgrim routes to Rome.
Today the Magione estate winery covers 1,325 hectares of agricultural land of
which 30 hectares are planted with vines.
The vineyards are
planted on the slopes facing Lake Trasimeno; the microclimate is especially good for the grapes, with the lake tempering the
heat of the Umbrian summers.
