Molino Vitelli, Umbria

The Andrea Pilar project was born in an uncontaminated area of ​​Umbria, not far from Umbertide, the landscape is decidedly hilly, the climate is mild in Spring and cold in Winter, its clay is calcareous, alluvial and rich in skeleton.

Perfect conditions for the grapes to ripen without stress, enhancing aromas and acidity even in the most complex vintages.

Andrea and Pilar Gritti are brother and sister and after years of training abroad they decided to return to Italy and take the reins of the family business, initially designed for conventional production, but which has now clearly turned the page, in search of a natural and respectful approach towards the environment and the end customer.
