This is a story of two families with a long history of success in agriculture who came together with a shared vision — to create exceptional Umbrian varietal wines. Umberto Benedetti and Daniele Grigi joined forces, built a team of exceptional talent in viniculture, winemaking, and gave them the best vineyards and equipment available.
Their 68 hectares (~160 acres) are spread between high and low elevation sites. Fruit from the high elevation, older vineyards are utilized to produce Umbrian wines under the Benedetti & Grigi label, while the younger, lower elevation vineyards are harvested to produce wines under the La Gaita del Falco label.
The cantina is located in La Polzella, just 4 km outside the ancient hilltop town of Montefalco. In-house winemaker, Matteo Basili (shown on the left with Umberto Benedetti), has the finest equipment at his disposal to create wines that perfectly express the best natural characteristics of this historic region.
