The Briziarelli Cellars represent a young reality, but well cohesive with the traditional context of the territory, and at the same time, they tell an innovative and modern design in the name of Sustainability and Environmental Respect.

The story of the Briziarelli Agricultural Company began in Umbria in the early 20th century, thanks to the ingenuity of Pio Briziarelli: a local entrepreneur, philanthropist and man of great ambition. After founding the Fornaci Briziarelli Marsciano, he decided to invest in the purchase of 50 hectares located between Bevagna and Montefalco, the prized Sagrantino wine-growing area. Thus began the winegrowing and agricultural project in the lush Umbrian land, which also involved the cultivation of arable land, olive groves and cattle breeding. Thus, Cantine Briziarelli was born. In 2003, a first planting of new vineyards took place; the business grew rapidly, until a second planting of vineyards became necessary only a few years later, in 2006. In 2012, construction work began on the new winery, a symbol of innovation, design and elegance. Its favourable location, in the centre of the 50 hectares of which, to date, 25 are planted with vines, make it an integral part of the beautiful surrounding hilly landscape. The year 2021 was a year of great change for the winery: the arrival of a new administration, a cornucopia of modern and innovative ideas, resulted in an enhancement of style, through a new logo and new labels, but also a new distinctive feature in the wines produced. The production objectives, in keeping with consumer tastes, which are constantly and rapidly evolving, lean towards greater drinkability and elegance, while respecting the tradition established over the years.

The tour includes a pleasant walk through the vineyards. The vineyards surround the facility, so it is possible to reach them quickly on foot. Depending on the season, one can appreciate the specific phenological phase of the production and vegetative cycle in which the vines find themselves.

During the spring, the vegetative luxuriance will stand out with its bright green notes, in the height of the summer season the ripening bunches of grapes on the vine will bring out all the particularity of the fruit. In the autumn, the leaves, rich in orange-red pigment, will unmistakably colour the vineyard, especially the hectares destined for the production of black grapes.

The tour then continues inside the cellar to the winemaking area, where you can take a look at the various stages of production, which characterise the different vinifications: white, red and rosé, leading to the production of our fine wines.

Finally, the tour concludes at the wooden ageing area, the impressive barrique cellar, which welcomes visitors with a design and enveloping modernity.

Afterwards, the tasting will be based on the customer's choice for the desired experience.
