The property:
The estate of Salviano covers an area of an 2,000 hectares of land between
the historic cities of Todi and Orvieto. The property has been owned by the
aristocratic Corsini family for many centuries and lies in the heart of the
Orvieto Classico DOC area.
Location of the vineyards and soil characteristics:
The vineyards are situated from 250 to 380 m. at sea level on the hills
overlooking the northern bank of the Lake of "Corbara", Orvieto. The
exposures vary from south-west to east-south-east for the vineyards and the
soil originates from decaying tufa rocks, the same type from which the
farm's antique cellar is excavated. Currently only 60 hectares are under
vine, planted to Procanico, Verdello, Grechetto, Chardonnay, Sauvignon,
Malvasia and Pinot Blanc as well as Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
