Castello delle Regine

What Castello delle Regine does

Castello delle Regine is a privately held Italian diversified agricultural estate (Azienda Agricola Castello delle Regine s.p.a.) headquartered in San Liberato di Narni, Umbria. Operating across 400 hectares including 80 hectares of vineyards, 30 hectares of olive groves with approximately 8,000 trees (many centennial, planted in the 1500s), 200 hectares of forest, and supporting livestock operations (Chianina cattle, Cinta Senese pigs), the company produces a wine portfolio of approximately 450,000 bottles annually alongside DOP-certified extra virgin olive oils. The estate was acquired in the mid-1990s by Paolo Nodari and Livia Colantonio, with vineyard renewal guided by wine consultant Dr. Franco Bernabei; the property traces its origins to a 15th-century fortification in the Valley of the Queens (Valle delle Regine).

The business spans four operating verticals: (1) a winery (Cantina) producing ten wines including Selezione del Fondatore, Princeps, and Rosso di Podernovo, aged in French oak barriques from Allier forest and Slavonian oak casks in a 2,000 sqm Barricaia; (2) olive oil production under DOP Umbria Colli Amerini certification (Castelluccio blend and monovarietal Moraiolo); (3) agritourism hospitality comprising four country houses (Ulivo, Cipresso, Quercia, Patassa) with private pools, plus the Podernovo restaurant serving estate-grown ingredients; and (4) event hosting for weddings and private functions. Viticulture follows sustainable agriculture practices with natural fertilizers and hand-harvesting; fermentation uses indigenous yeasts.

The company monetizes through a mix of direct-to-consumer sales (on-site wine shop, country house rentals, restaurant covers, wedding packages), B2B distribution via importers (Golden Ram/Bluest Sky Group and Jansen International in the US; Chinese market presence through CWSA awards), and trade fair sales (Vinitaly, ProWein). Pricing is varied across accommodations, menus (€26-75 per person), and seasonal packages (€105-155 per person multi-night stays). Distribution reaches Italy, the United States, and China. The company has received industry recognition including CWSA Best Value Gold Medal 2017, Grappolo D'Oro, and ECOFRIENDLY 2018 certification.
