ウンブリア州のベヴァーニャは、アッシージの聖フランチェスコ大聖堂（画家ジョットにより描かれた『小鳥に説教する聖フランチェスコ』が有名）からほど近く、6haを所有するプラニ・アルケはオーナーのロベルト・ディ・フィリッポと妻のエレナによって経営されています。畑が広がるモンテファルコエリアは、緩やかな丘陵地帯に位置し、土壌は石灰質と粘土質で構成され、ボディとタンニンがしっかりとしており複雑味のあるブドウ品種、サグランティーノが収穫されます。サグランティーノの由来については様々な諸説が考えられており、1994年以降、畑は有機農法（Agricoltura Biologica）で耕されている。黒ブドウはサグランティーノ、サンジョヴェーゼそしてバルベーラが栽培され、白ブドウはグレケットとトレッビアーノが栽培されています。近年はより自然派ワインつくりに注力しており、グレケットを使用したペットナットなども高い評判を得ています。

Spadafora is a noble Sicilian family, whose first certified traces date back to 1230. Over the centuries, the Casato had the predominance over five principalities, a duchy, two marquisates, a county and twenty-five baronies. Some of the family members have occupied leading positions in the Kingdom of Sicily and in some European States. The founder of the farm is Don Pietro dei Principi di Spadafora, who inherits the estate from his uncle Michele De Stefani, a talented farmer and breeder of race horses. The estate suffered a lot of damage during the 1968 earthquake but don Pietro undertook both the reconstruction and the redevelopment of the company, reevaluating the native vineyards and bringing to Sicily allochthonous vineyards destined for the birth of quality wines. The current owner is Francesco Spadafora, son of Don Pietro, married to his wife Claudia, flanked by his daughter Enrica. The history of Spadafora bottled wine begins more than thirty years ago, in the summer of 1988, when Don Pietro Dei Principi di Spadafora decided to explore another world; so from the countryside of Mussomeli, family property in the Sicilian hinterland where wheat was cultivated, his son Francesco moved to Virzì to take care of the vineyards, transforming the grapes into wine. Spadafora wines are made only with our grapes, located in the Virzì district, (Municipality of Monreale, map sheet 142), in the area adjacent to the cellar, so much so that it is defined as the garden that surrounds our houses.
