SAIO is the vineyard of Assisi.

20 hectares of vineyards and olive groves 800 m from St. Francis Church, UNESCO heritage.

Here the Mencarelli family makes fine wines and the extravergine olive oil.

Small productions under the banner of craftsmanship and respect for nature.

About 30.000 bottles produces every year, we make white and red wines, still wines, dry wines and very fruty, mineral and complex in flavour.

The typical pink and white-stones of the Subasio Montain make the soil pebbly and permeable, perfect for high quality wines, fine, elegant, high in alcohol, with intense scented bouquets.

The fresh Tramontana wind always flows at night, it assures a wide temperature excursion and helps the vines to convey aromas to their barries.

The Sun radiates the clusters constantly in the right way thanks to the right orientation of the lines, trimming long shoots and eliminating excess leaves by hand.

During harvest the grape is in the cellar for a soft press by max. 3 hours form the picking. The must is fermented in stainless steel containers at controlled temperature to exalt the natural aromas in the process from must to wine. Ageings in oak barrels and then in the bottle are contantly checked to enhance the peculiarities of a wine that always reflects the characteristics of its own vintage.

We also make extravergine olive oil using the most typical kinds of olives of our area: Leccino, Frantoio and Moraiolo.

Bottles, and tins are produced to better fir our clients needs.

The evo oil is yellow with green reflections, in flavour is fine, enriched with pleasant notes of artichoke and apple, in taste is spicy, harmonious and well balanced.
