In 1969 Angelo Dubini and his wife Maria Locatelli bought the property “Palazzone," starting with the reconversion of a farm in a state of semi abandonment. A pioneering period: in those same years they planted 24 hectares of vineyards on particularly suitable land; land that for centuries was destined for the best viniculture in the area, just outside the village of Rocca Ripesena. Beginning in 1982, under the guidance of Angelo’s son Giovanni, Palazzone began a journey made of small vinifications and bottling - experiences necessary to arrive at in 1988 to build the winery. Since that time it has become one of the most significant properties in all of Umbria, arrived with his nephew Pietro in the third generation.

TERRE VINEATE - Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC
Our years of experience have enabled us to choose a specific portion of our Palazzone vineyard for the production of this wine. It has a perfect aspect and we carry out careful pruning to leave the best possible bunches of the Procanico and Grechetto grap
CAMPO DEL GUARDIANO - Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC
This wine comes from the most beautiful piece of land on our estate. It is named after the generations of small farmers who tilled the land. From this land has been born a wine that is refined by being laid down in bottle.
MUSCO
From a small vineyard planted promiscuously with Procanico, Verdello and Malvasia grapes mixed in rows. It was born “Musco”. Produced without electricity usage, this wine matures and refines for several months, following traditional techniques.
GRECHETTO - Umbria IGT
Our Grechetto wine is our contribution to the rediscovery and the reevaluation of this grape that represents the particular terroir of our district
VIOGNIER - Umbria IGT
Viognier represents since several years our experience in growing and winemaking special varieties, combining the potential of our land with a passion for research and experimentation wine.
MUFFA NOBILE - Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC
Orvieto is one of the rare Italian zones suitable for the production of sweet wine. Land exposed to morning mists are the most favorable to develop the Botrytis Cinerea which enables us to make the Muffa Nobile.
VENDEMMIA TARDIVA - Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC
A wine with the taste of tradition, autochthonous vines and old techniques. A late harvest when the grapes reach the maximum maturity to allow the sugar content to focus giving rise to a sweet wine with an ancient taste.
PIVIERE - Umbria Rosso IGT
In Piviere san Donato, the name of the medieval quarter in which the estate of Il Palazzone exists, we do not lack the most authentic grape traditionally grown in our part of Umbria - the Sangiovese.
ARMALEO - Umbria Rosso IGT
During the devastating frost of 1985 our old olive grove was destroyed. This put at our disposal a portion of our land we considered most suitable for vines. From these grapes came our first bottle of Armale, using the same system as the ancient Etruscans
