In 1969, Angelo Dubini and his wife Maria Locatelli purchased Palazzone, beginning the reconversion of a farm in a state of semi-abandonment. It was a pioneering period: in those same years they planted no less than 24 hectares of vineyards on land that had been particularly suited for centuries to the best viticulture in the area, just outside the village of Rocca Ripesena. Starting in 1982, under the business guidance of their son Giovanni, Palazzone began a journey made up of small vinifications and bottling, experiences that were necessary to arrive in 1988 at the construction of the winery. Thus was born one of the most significant wineries in all of Umbria, now in its third generation with grandson Pietro.

The company's top productions
TERRE VINEATE - Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC
Over the years, our experience has enabled us to choose small portions of land in the Palazzone vineyards where excellent exposures allow us to obtain better clusters of Procanico and Grechetto selected to produce Terre Vineate.
CAMPO DEL GUARDIANO - Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC
From the most beautiful plot of our vineyards, called 'Campo del Guardiano' by generations of farmers, comes this selection of Orvieto Classico Superiore, which is aged for several months in the bottle.
MUSCO
From a very small vineyard planted promiscuously with Procanico, Verdello and Malvasia grapes mixed in the rows comes 'Musco'. Produced without the use of electricity, it matures and refines for several months following traditional techniques.
GRECHETTO - Umbria IGT
It represents our contribution to the rediscovery and valorisation of an ancient Umbrian grape variety capable of representing the tradition and typicality of the territory.
VIOGNIER - Umbria IGT
For several years, Viognier has represented our experience in cultivating and vinifying particular grape varieties, combining the potential of our land with a passion for oenological research and experimentation.
MUFFA NOBILE - Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC
Orvieto is one of the very rare areas in Italy suited to the production of mildew wines. On soil exposed in such a way as to allow the early morning mists to favour the development of Botrytis Cinerea, Muffa Nobile is born.
VENDEMMIA TARDIVA - Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC
A wine that tastes of tradition, of indigenous vines, of distant techniques. Harvesting is delayed when the grapes reach maximum ripeness, to allow the sugar content to concentrate, giving rise to a sweet wine with an ancient taste.
PIVIERE - Umbria Rosso IGT
In the Piviere San Donato, the medieval district that included the Palazzone, the most authentic red grape variety of our territory, Sangiovese, could not be missing.
ARMALEO - Umbria Rosso IGT
The replanting of our olive grove allowed us to have at our disposal one of the most suitable parts of our land. Thus was born the first bottle of Armaleo, the ancient vine cultivation system found in Etruria.
