A family-run winery managed almost entirely by women, Tenute Pacelli has made wines and Evo oil its strong point, organic its motto, experimentation its differentiating factor and hospitality its mission. Clara, Carla, Laura and Francesco believed in these things when they decided to work with the family vineyard. Then as in now.

Ten hectares of native grapes (Magliocco Dolce, Calabrese, Greek White), national (Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Barbera) and international (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah) reared in accordance with the green manure technique is totally organic. Welcome to the Tenute Pacelli.

The winery’s vineyards extend across the green hill that overlooks the plains of Rose, the contrada where the Pacelli estate stands tall, dominated by the hunting lodge of the noble La Costa family. This ancient residence dates back to the end of the 1700s. With its four crenelated towers, it also served as an outpost and observatory. Our respect for nature can be seen in the way our vineyard is cultivated with painstaking care. Actually, chemical fertilizers are not allowed in the vineyard, and we favour the use of cover cropping, which is common in organic farming.
