What a wonderful visit to a family owned winery. Filippo was so gracious, generous and knowledgeable. We visited five years ago and met him again to try the latest vintages. Very delicious and a nice way to spend time with family.

Myself, my wife and another couple visited Cantina Peppucci in early September 2019. Filippo the owner and wine maker was the most accomodating and gracious host. We emailed him mid morning and he was able to accomodate us for an afternoon wine tasting.
The property is absolutely amazing, with the wine making facility below the property where wine tastings are conducted. It was obvious from walking in that Filippo was invested in his job and very good at it by the awards scattered over the walls.
Filippo provided a number of whites, reds and dessert wines with an accompaniment of focaccia, salami and cheese. The wines were all beautiful and the outlook across the vineyard to the monastery was amazing.
Filippo was passionate about his wine, which showed through his knowledge and relaxed chat he had with us over the experience.
We have been on a number of wine tours throughout Australia and New Zealand, but this was the best I have ever seen. If you only do one thing in Todi or the Umbria region, make sure you do this.

We all know Italy is known for having great wine, but we don't know is that the way they do tasting is far superior than in the states. In the states, they tend to view it as a bar hopping experience and as soon as they're done they move on to the next one. However you would be lucky if the wine pourer you were at knew enough about the wine to tell you some of the key elements the wine is known for, or you could just read the little pamphlet they have on the desk.
How about getting the wine maker or the owner himself giving you a tour of his passion instead. Well that's what we got at Cantina Peppucci. We didn't just go in and start drinking, he first spoke of his land and the history it had. Why it was a perfect location to grow and produce wine there. When he was speaking you could tell he had a passion and love for his life, because that's what it was to him-his life. Not some job, not some paycheck, but his life. After we got some education on the land, we got to experience and taste the wine with the owner. He poured every single glass and explained the wine, but he was very curious to hear our opinions and what we thought about it and what it reminded us of. So it's a very personal tasting because not only do we get the full experience from the man himself, but he gets to see the reactions and enjoyment his wine brings to people. Did I mention that we get little appetizers all over the table to enjoy as well. Not just some kind of pretzel cracker, but meats and cheese, bread with olive oil from the vineyard. As the tasting continued, everyone became friends and got more comfortable with each other enough to where the owner Filippo sat down and showed us videos of his wife and kids and his inspiration for his wine. *side note he named one of the wines after his son Giovanni, which we bought 3 bottles of and sent back home to the states. The entire tour was amazing and I would highly recommend going here. *he does speak English*. He's friendly enough to even add you on his Facebook, which not many owners do that. So if you get a chance check this place out! You won't regret it 👌

Somewhat of a challenge to find but worth the effort. Call in advance for a tasting which carries a small charge. The venue is a spectacularly beautiful vineyard. Fillippo is understandingly proud and enthusiastic about his family’s wine. I particularly enjoyed the Grechetto (an under-appreciated wine) and Giovanni, a red.

My family visited the winery yesterday and spent 3 lovely hours with Filippo at his winery. The wine was excellent and we are all having wines and olive oil shipped home to US. Filippo is very passionate about his vineyard and gives an in depth explanation of his family history, the land, grape vines and wine. We met a lovely young couple from California and enjoyed spending time with them. Wine tasting was presented with delicious edibles. We highly recommend a visit to this vineyard. You will certainly enjoy the wines and Filippo's expertise and charm!

Along with another couple we visited for a private tasting. Filippo was welcoming and warm, and we felt comfortable from the moment we entered. Over the course of about two hours he explained his family's move from the center of Todi and their settlement of this piece of land, their hard work and dedication to renovation and preservation of the monastery, and of course about the wines! We tasted through a number of wines and discussed them. We felt totally at ease and comfortable to ask all sorts of questions (relating to the wines and Italian culture in general). Felippo was genuine in his discussions with us about growing, harvest, production etc. and had a real sense of humor.
We enjoyed the wines, the vineyard and of course Felippo. We purchased a number of bottles to enjoy on the rest of our holiday. Our visit to the Cantina Peppucci was a wonderful way to spend a spring afternoon.
Be sure to look at the beautiful view of Todi from the balcony.

We just received our case of Giovanni and Alter Ego Sangiovese, ordered last month while we were in Todi. Filippo was so gracious to accept our visit when the owner of a restaurant in Todi, a personal friend of Filippo, called to get us an appointment. He took us to visit the family's abbazia, which will soon be a wonderful rental property. We tasted wonderful wines in the relaxed atmosphere of the tasting room. The setting for Cantina Peppucci is beautiful and tranquil. It's a great place to visit when you're in or near Todi. On a personal note, Filippo was very kind to send along my scarf, which I left behind at the Cantina. It arrived along with our case of wine! Grazie, Filippo! We'll be back soon.

We stayed at Izzalini Castle for a week, making day trips to the many hill towns in the "Green Heart of Italy." One of our goals was to sample the rich wines made from the sagrantino grape. Now there are many wine growers in Umbria, but you would be missing a special treat if you failed to seek out Cantina Peppucci. Filippo Peppucci will regale you with the story of his family vineyard, and show you the Benedictine monastery (with its chapel that is still consecrated--and gets visited periodically by the local prelate to assure that it keeps to the standards of a religious sanctuary) that forms the centerpiece of the small farm. In the villa overlooking the grapes, he will have you taste his bottlings alongside some tasty morsels that will balance and amplify the experience.
Filippo is a down-to-earth, no hype guy. If you press him to say that grapes have been grown on his property since the 14th century monastery was founded, he'll say, "Probably, but every monastery grew grapes and vegetables." It was in far more recent times that the Peppucci's found the abandoned monastery and its surrounds, and realized that it makes an ideal place to grow sagrantino and other grape varieties. The Peppucci's then transformed what were corn fields into what are now beautifully husbanded vineyards. Too much humidity, he will explain, and the vines will rot. The San Antimo vineyards happily receive a near constant breeze that is a natural humidistat. Together with hot days and cool mountain nights, the grapes are tempered and produce exactly what these growers need to produce top notch wine.
He'll also tell you in a matter-of-fact manner that while everyone wants to have a great review from a wine columnist, great wine really doesn't taste like pencil shavings, licorice, and so many different fruits. It tastes like wine, and not everyone has the same taste in wine. To learn what wines you like, you have to drink it. And he'll show you how.
To appreciate wine--not just the Peppucci line--Filippo will instruct you on how to select and preserve and serve that nectar. He'll also tell you about the wine business and the agricultural, manufacturing, and marketing challenges wine growers face. I've collected wine for some time and have visited other vineyards, but I learned quite a bit more from my visit to Cantina Peppucci.
I won't review the wine. This is a travel site. For that, try cellartracker.com. But we did think Peppucci's wines were terrific and sent a case and a half home. (That can be easy or hard, depending on your country's import regulations. Fortunately, Filippo knows what they are and how to get any wine you acquire to your home. We received ours today. They were shipped five days ago.)
There is a travel note in discussing the wine, though. Umbrian wines are not well distributed globally, and just about unavailable to us, where we live in Upstate New York. Additionally, the Peppucci family does not make a lot of wine; it's a small vineyard. The bottom line is that visiting Cantina Peppucci will have you tasting some very rare wine, possibly unavailable elsewhere, at least for now. I think that will change. Presently, the sagrantino grape doesn't get a lot of fanfare. Most of the talk is about it being very tannic and only suitable for the heavy dishes for which Umbria is famous. But I have the distinct impression that those writing about the grape have not really tasted some of the mature wines that come from the Strada Sagrantino. Once Umbria destinations rise to the popularity of their provincial neighbors, that will change. More people will visit Umbria and more people will be drinking sagrantino. And they'll love it. Sagrantino, with its complex structure and rich flavors, is certainly on the road to becoming the next great grape. So you need to visit a place like Cantina Peppucci now, before sagrantino wines become unaffordable.
You might not readily find Cantina Peppucci unless you're traveling the road from Montefalco to Todi. Once you get close, the road signs pointing to the villa on the hill are clear, but you have to be on the right road. It's just off Vocabulo Fornace in the locality of Petroro. Â The full address and phone numbers are on the web site, or use these coordinates if your GPS gets confused: Â 42.823586, 12.492902. Â (Ours did.) You won't regret the effort.
(Since you'll be on the road to Todi, don't miss that splendid hill town. And be sure to take a meal at Antica Hosteria de la Valle while you're there. Hint: their delicious house wine is from the Peppucci vinyards.)

Cantina Peppucci is a great place to spend a couple of hours in the beautiful, rolling hills of Umbria, Italy! This winery is postcard pretty! It is surrounded by acres & acres of vineyards & the most beautiful scenery! And, Fillippo Peppucci's passion for producing the best wines possible is so evident as he pours & describes the whole process. He is very generous with his time, & you leave the winery feeling as if you have become a friend of the Peppucci family. Fillippo also took the time to lead us to a fabulous restaurant for one of the best lunches we had on our trip!
