Cantine Zanchi

About

For fifty years now, the Zanchi family has been crafting high-quality wine in Amelia, in the Umbria region, within a strikingly-beautiful complex of hills that are crowned by the ancient estate residence and the wine-making facility. The surface of the estate is totally dedicated to vineyards and olive groves, all cultivated in accord with the principles of organic agriculture, which mandate low environmental-impact practices and full respect for biodiversity. Three generations now of the family have dedicated themselves to continuous research into the local growing area, identifying the most-suitable ancient clones and those classic to Umbria. Over the years they have naturally crafted wines that are most representative of their local area and its traditions. The Zanchi winery is located in one of the most scenic and beloved landscapes in all of Umbria, on the route of the Strada dei vini Etrusco Romana, the Roman-Etruscan Wine Road. It lies just a couple steps from Amelia.
