Podere Marella is a charming, family-owned winery nestled in the Colli del Trasimeno DOC area, straddling the border between Umbria and Tuscany in Central Italy. Founded in 1974 by Fiammetta Inga, this winery is a trailblazer in organic winemaking. At a time when few in Italy recognized the value of organic practices, Fiammetta's commitment to sustainability was seen as unconventional. Despite the skepticism, she dedicated herself to enhancing the quality of her wines, earning numerous accolades along the way.
Today, Podere Marella spans 20 acres of vineyards, producing a diverse range of seven wines, including red, white, and rosé varieties under the Umbria IGT and Colli del Trasimeno DOC labels. The estate showcases local grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Gamay del Trasimeno, Grechetto, and Vermentino. While Umbria may not be as famous for wine as Tuscany, Podere Marella's offerings, particularly the Godot Sangiovese, rival even the esteemed Brunello di Montalcino, all at a more accessible price point.
Fiammetta's vision for Podere Marella continues under the stewardship of her son, Cosimo, who shares her passion for organic winemaking. The estate maintains a small production scale, prioritizing quality over quantity. Their award-winning wines consistently rank among the best in international competitions. Today, Podere Marella remains one of the most pristine and tranquil natural havens in the region, inviting wine lovers to appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship.

What a peaceful location for beautiful vines. Our host was really welcoming and very knowledgeable. Perfect English and Italian. We tasted many different wines that delivered fabulous value for money. Now a few days on I am trying the rosato again and I still believe it is the nicest rosato I have found. The tour through the wines accompanied by three rescue dogs was lovely. Passing the most amazing house, pool, outside kitchen, tennis courts, which is available to hire and looks fabulous. I can just imagine staying there in a large group with fabulous wines delivered to your doorstep.

An absolute gem of a place! A real must for all to visit! Ionela provides the warmest of welcomes in a gorgeous, beautifully rustic setting. The wines are incredibly delicious, and we got to see some of the amazing vines that produce such beautiful wine as well. This was my father-in-law’s favourite vineyard (who lived locally) and is most definitely ours too. Thank you for such a lovely time.

I had the opportunity to taste the wine of Podere Marella in a restaurant in Paciano. Having really enjoyed it, I went there. Perfect welcome, idyllic setting, tasting 🥂👍. I left with some good bottles but also local, organic products. Enough to bring back a little bit of Umbria with you to extend the holidays and the pleasure 😉
