Montefalco Grechetto La veneranda

Grechetto Montefalco 2025  La Veneranda

A dry and distinctive white wine.

This is a precise and elegant Grechetto that highlights minerality and freshness rather than sheer power.

The grapes come from hillside vineyards around Montefalco in Umbria, at about 300 meters above sea level, with cool breezes and significant day‑night temperature swings that preserve remarkable freshness.

Harvest is done by hand and relatively early, in the first half of September, and the grapes are pressed very gently in order to preserve the purity and clarity of the wine. This is a modern, dry and refreshing Grechetto that works beautifully with the Israeli climate.

Perfect to drink now alongside fish, pasta and seafood. You can certainly enjoy this Grechetto today, but it also offers 4 – 5 years of cellaring potential, allowing you to follow how the wine becomes rounder and more complex over time and really feel the effect of bottle age on a white wine.

We searched for a long time for “our” Grechetto just like we did with Sagrantino  and this one has become our absolute favorite.

La Veneranda is a historic family winery in Montefalco, with records of vine‑growing in the area dating back to 1568. Today a new generation of the family, together with a dedicated professional team in the vineyards and cellar, combines deep local tradition with precise, modern winemaking.

Montefalco’s nickname in Italy is “the Balcony of Umbria” – a hilltop town in Umbria with a magical view of rolling vineyards and olive groves overlooking the valley and surrounding villages, a colorful, moving and peaceful landscape.

 We are pretty sure the vines here are happy to grow in such calm, high‑quality surroundings  and the grapes seem more than pleased before they finally reach your table for a truly satisfying sip.
