Today the Cantina del Trasimeno is a cooperative society of 250 members on a surface area of approximately 300 hectares.
The choice of clones and rootstocks suitable quality to value in the cultivation, the use of strict agricultural techniques in the vineyard, the strong technological innovation in the winery and the technical contribution of serious and qualified professionals are the ingredients that make this Cooperative Winery one of the most interesting of the Trasimeno area and national wine scene.
The realization of the aging building in Città della Pieve, in the completely renovated historic cellars of the Town Hall, ends the project that is the basis of the "Duca della Corgna" wines.
The production is organized to control every stage of production cycle from the countryside to the cellar: from the production to the grapes harvesting, during the wine production, the wine aging in barrel or steel, bottling and aging in bottle.
Native grape varieties, like Gamay Perugino (or del Trasimeno) and Grechetto, receive special attention and care. The same for the classic Sangiovese with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in red wines and Trebbiano toscano among white grapes.
- Grapes worked: approximately 2,000 tons of which 75% in red grapes and 25% in white grapes
- Total storage capacity: more than 25,000 hl
- Capacity of wooden wine vases: 2,000 hl
- Bottling line: up to 6,000 bottles per day
- Bottles produced: 500,000 per year

Corio Rosso del Umbria
Description
This really pleasant red wine is produced mainly from San Giovese grapes, but it has interesting nuances from the use of a variety of other local red grapes.Bouquet fresh and lifely with floral notes of almonds. Flavor soft and lifely in the same time
It is a wine meant to be drunk young, but it has sure an aging capacity of some years. We tasted in 2020 a 2016 vintage and it was good. Softer tannins and more ripe fruit flavors than the 2016 vintage that we tested in parallel.
