A family story set amongst the vineyards of Sabina
Nestled amongst the hills of Poggio Mirteto, overlooking the Tiber Valley with the silhouette of Mount Soratte on the horizon, Tenuta Santa Lucia is a wine estate deeply rooted in the Sabina landscape.
The estate’s history began in 1979, when the Colantuono family decided to invest in the wine-growing potential of this area. Over time, work on the vineyards and the revitalisation of the vineyards have given rise to an estate that today combines agricultural expertise with contemporary winemaking techniques.
The vineyards stretch across the hills overlooking the Tiber Valley, in an area characterised by geological and climatic conditions favourable to the cultivation of various grape varieties. Here, Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Cabernet, Alicante, Carignano, Falanghina, Sauvignon and Malvasia are grown, through which the estate expresses the characteristics of this corner of Sabina.
The winery, set amongst the vineyards and equipped with modern winemaking techniques, represents the meeting point between work in the vineyard and production. This approach has been developed with the aim of promoting – including through wine – a region known above all for its great olive-growing tradition.
