Cantina Goccia

Vineyards and Winery



The Vineyards

Cantina Goccia cultivates two vineyards — Petrignano and Bella Vista — nestled in the heart of Umbria’s Colli del Trasimeno.

It is a region rich in biodiversity with a mild climate and mineral-rich soils shaped by their proximity to Lake Trasimeno.

Set among gently rolling hills, our vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate. We practice organic farming and follow a regenerative approach to viticulture. This means we minimize soil disturbance, avoiding unnecessary ploughing and instead planting a five-seed legume mix between the vines to naturally enrich and bind the soil, promoting vine health and biodiversity.

The plots total approximately 10 hectares and include native and international varieties such as Sangiovese, Grechetto, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Vermentino. Each variety is carefully selected and cultivated to express the full character of our Umbrian terroir.

As a certified organic winery, we are committed to sustainable vineyard management, limiting the use of external inputs and allowing nature to lead the way in both pest control and nutrient cycles.

The Winery

Founded over 20 years ago by Ceri and Steve, Cantina Goccia was born from a desire to produce high-quality wines while working in harmony with nature.

Our modern, eco-conscious winery reflects this mission, integrating cutting-edge winemaking technology with low-impact environmental solutions.

A striking example of our sustainability ethos is the building’s green wall, which offers natural thermal insulation while enhancing biodiversity. Solar panels on the roof provide most of our energy needs, allowing us to operate with a minimal carbon footprint.

Inside the cantina, we manage every step of the winemaking process with care. Aging takes place in a dedicated barrique cellar, using both oak barrels and large oak casks, depending on the wine's structure and personality. We are especially proud of our innovation in sustainable packaging, being the first winery in the world to adopt the Frugal Bottle — a revolutionary bottle made of 94% recycled paper. This choice dramatically reduces carbon emissions without compromising the quality of our wines. To support this innovation, our winery is equipped with a dedicated bottling machine specifically designed for the paper bottle, allowing us to manage the entire process in-house with precision and consistency.

Whether aged in oak or bottled in paper, every bottle of Cantina Goccia reflects our passion for the land, respect for tradition, and commitment to innovation.
