Nestling in the peaceful hills of Umbria, among the most poetic of Italian landscapes, the castle of Montegiove has existed since the early 13th century and for the last four centuries it has been property of the Marquises Misciattelli. Today, it is the centre of a wonderful estate covering nearly 1200 hectares of beautiful Umbrian countryside, including a busy farm, and an exclusive and luxurious country house. Thanks to a demanding but fascinating project of restoration and renovation pursued by the owners, this idyllic, rustic scene has changed little since it’s glorious past. The estate of Montegiove has a centennial tradition of passionate farming, giving birth to products of outstanding and absolute virtue. It covers nearly 1200 hectares of stunning Umbrian countryside, where natural grown oak forests, vineyards, olive fields and arable land blend in total harmony with ancient dry walls and farmhouses built of local stone. The principal products of the estate are Orvieto d.o.c. and Umbria Rosso i.g.t red wines, extravirgin olive oil, wheat, sunflower, beans, lentils, Chianina beef cattle, forage and forest products. Exceptional in its pristine natural setting, the 800 hectares of woods are home to abundant wildlife like wildboar and deer and the luxuriant local flora includes specialties like truffles and mushrooms.
