Adanti Azienda Agricola stands as a historic gem in Umbria’s Montefalco region, celebrated for its exceptional wines protected under the Montefalco Rosso DOC and Sagrantino DOCG designations. Founded in the 1960s by Domenico Adanti, the winery began its journey by renovating the Arquata villa, an old Friars Celestine convent. With a commitment to quality, Daniela and Donatella Adanti now manage the estate, producing premium wines and extra virgin olive oil that reflect the unique terroir and rich traditions of the region.
Adanti primarily produces dry and sweet wines sourced from their estate vineyards. The focus is on Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG, Red Arquata Umbria IGT, and Montefalco Rosso DOC. Additionally, they craft white wines from Montefalco Bianco and Grechetto grapes, while also cultivating Sangiovese, Barbera, Merlot, and Cabernet. The region's ideal microclimate and soil conditions contribute to the growth of high-quality, flavorful grapes.
Sagrantino, a local grape varietal, was introduced to the region by Franciscan monks returning from Asia Minor. The Adanti family played a crucial role in the grape's revival during the 1970s, leading to its DOCG certification in 1992. These wines are often aged for several years, enhancing their complexity. Wine enthusiasts are invited to witness traditional winemaking practices and savor the classic wines that define Adanti Azienda Agricola.

I visited this winery accompanied by my brother in August 2022; as we are great wine lovers, we decided to take a tour of the best DOC Sagrantino di Montefalco wine cellars and Adanti definitely made it on our list. The lady I spoke to on the phone when making the reservation was very kind and helpful, as was the boy who looked after us throughout the tasting. The winery is located in Arquata, near Bevagna, and is very easy to reach from Foligno. We tasted 7 wines, including 2 local whites (including the famous Grechetto) and 5 reds, including Rosso di Montefalco, Sagrantino di Montefalco and Arquata, a blend of different DOC grapes of the highest class. Really impressive, welcoming and well-equipped wine cellar, typical of areas where wine tourism is practiced on a significant scale. Competent and helpful staff: one gentleman even let us taste some important vintages of “Domenico”, their best reserve. To finish, we took a nice walk in the nearby vineyard to enjoy the landscape and immerse ourselves in the best grapes of this land. Great experience and professionalism, we will definitely come back 😊

The sommelier hosted us very kindly and presented the whole wines palette. They have a great choice and the cellar is very nice and historical. Prices are reasonable and the quality is good. I have just opened a 2013 Sagrantino DOCG and it was good, although at its end of life. I don’t know if their wines can further age, I would need to test few different years. Overall a good sale proposition and for sure a nice place to visit and buy wines.
