Passion and tradition
Colle del Sole Farm, located in an enchanting landscape of valleys and hills, tells the story of a family who believed in organic farming and wine production and in the recovery of Umbrian vines: the Polidori’s.
Organic is better
For over thirty years, we have grown our grapes without the use of chemicals (fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides and pesticides) and without OGMs.
A wine dinasty
In 1938, Nello Polidori planted the first three hectares of vineyards, which reveal prodigies of excellent grapes.
Between 1968 and 1971, his son Carlo brought the production to 33 hectares. The “Denomination of Origin (DOC)” recognition was obtained in 1979, and in 1984 the conversion to organic production began, and hectares were reduced to 25. This was made easier by the fact that no herbicides had been used since 1968.
Since 1999, Carlo’s daughter Lauretta, an agronomist, oenologist and sommelier, has been leading the winery. She worked to renew the company through a patient work of interpretation and reconversion of ancient practices, in the light of the newest enological techniques.
The farmhouse
A rustic farmhouse with 11 beds in the middle of our vineyards. Enjoy being far away from the noise of the city, fall asleep limp by listening to the grinding of crickets, and wake up rest and ready to explore the wonders of Umbria.
The winery
A small farm immersed in the green and cool of the countryside, where a patient job adheres to the times of nature and the strong smell of wine welcomes visitors: welcome to Polidori’s winery.
