The story
Còlpetrone is an estate located in the hills of Montefalco/Gualdo Cattaneo (Umbria) and is part of the Tenute del Cerro group.

Production method
For the grappa: distillation in a discontinuous pot still (batch still), 1–2 passes; cold filtration. For the wine: viticultural and vinification practices oriented toward quality (as described in company technical sheets).
