Luxury Wine Estate for Sale in Montefalco, Umbria

This established luxury wine estate for sale in Umbria combines a commercial winery, vineyard, olive grove, holiday accommodation business and extensive private living space. Located in the hills near Montefalco, the property spans 23.4 hectares (approximately 57.8 acres) and includes 3,100 square metres of buildings.

The estate has been developed for professional wine production and hospitality. Its 8 hectares of registered vineyards produce Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG and Trebbiano Spoletino DOC wines, as well as Sangiovese. The modern winery and cellar have an annual production capacity of approximately 850 hectolitres, equivalent to up to 100,000 bottles.

The property currently provides 11 guest and residential bedrooms, each with access to private or dedicated bathroom facilities. The accommodation capacity could be increased to as many as 15 bedrooms by converting the existing greenhouse area, which was designed with this option in mind.

The main building is arranged over four levels, comprising two underground floors and two above-ground floors. The underground winery occupies approximately 1,528 square metres, or 16,420 square feet. It contains the wine-processing area, storage and labelling rooms, ageing cellar, direct-sales areas, vehicle storage, technical rooms and water-service spaces.

The winery is equipped with stainless-steel fermentation vats providing a total capacity of approximately 1,000 hectolitres. Slavonian oak barrels provide a further ageing capacity of approximately 600 hectolitres. The current wine portfolio reaches markets in Italy, the United States, Canada and several European countries.

The residential and hospitality areas occupy approximately 1,572 square metres, or 16,914 square feet, across the ground and first floors. There are currently nine en-suite bedrooms within the main building, with the potential to create four additional rooms by adapting the greenhouse section.

A separate guesthouse of approximately 97 square metres, or 1,044 square feet, provides two further bedrooms. It can be used for paying guests, visiting clients, staff or private accommodation.

The leisure facilities include a 15 × 5 metre indoor swimming pool, a fitness area, gym, Turkish bath and service rooms. A whirlpool bath is positioned on the terrace. These facilities support the existing holiday accommodation operation and provide year-round wellness amenities for guests.

A first-floor panoramic terrace measures approximately 146 square metres, or 1,571 square feet. Beside the buildings is a mature landscaped garden of approximately 4,000 square metres with an automatic irrigation system, a fountain and a covered 36-square-metre dining and recreation area.

The buildings were constructed between 2008 and 2011 in accordance with the anti-seismic regulations applicable at the time. Their external elevations are finished in light-coloured stone. Interior materials include exposed stone walls, wooden beams, timber roof trusses, parquet flooring and worked stone floors.

COR-TEN steel beams form part of the structural design of the cellar. The residential areas have white plastered walls combined with sections of exposed stone, while the large windows provide good natural light and views across the Umbrian countryside.

What vineyards are included with the Montefalco wine estate?

The vineyard spans approximately 8 hectares (19.8 acres) at elevations ranging from 260 to 320 metres above sea level. The planted varieties are approximately 50% Trebbiano Spoletino, 25% Sagrantino and 25% Sangiovese.

The vines are planted at a density of approximately 5,500 plants per hectare in clay-based, marly and arenaceous soils. The vineyards are registered for the production of Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG and Trebbiano Spoletino DOC wines, two important denominations associated with the Montefalco wine region.

Annual production can reach approximately 850 hectolitres, corresponding to around 100,000 bottles depending on the vintage, vineyard performance and production choices.

Does the property include an olive grove?

The estate includes approximately 8.4 hectares, or 20.8 acres, of productive olive groves containing around 2,300 trees. The principal olive varieties are Moraiolo, Frantoio and Leccino.

Annual production can reach approximately 2,000 kilograms of olive oil in a favourable season. The olive groves were restored to productive use from 2015 onwards and now form an additional agricultural and commercial component of the estate.

How is the remaining land used?

In addition to the vineyards and olive groves, the property includes approximately 4.3 hectares of woodland and 2.7 hectares of arable land. Subject to agricultural and regulatory approval, part of the arable land may offer scope for further vineyard planting or other agricultural uses.

Is there an established holiday accommodation business?

The estate operates an established accommodation activity with a strong online presence and favourable recognition for both its wines and hospitality. The existing layout supports wine tourism, private events, tasting experiences, wellness stays and longer rural holidays.

The combination of guest accommodation, a professional winery, indoor pool, wellness facilities, landscaped gardens and direct wine sales makes the property suitable for an owner seeking an operating wine and hospitality business rather than a vineyard requiring complete redevelopment.

Prospective buyers should request current licences, trading accounts, occupancy records, wine-production records, stock valuations, brand information and details of any business assets included in the asking price.
