Montefalco, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, is located on top of a hill overlooking the plain of the Topino and Clitunno rivers. You can enjoy a wonderful view, which ranges from Perugia to Spoleto. The walls are very beautiful, the Piazza del Comune is suggestive, many glimpses that make it an unmissable village, even if not easy to reach due to the rather demanding climbs, from any side

Situated in the central west of Umbria, Montefalco stands on a hill carpeted with olive trees and grape vines, in the middle of the valley of the Clitunno, Topino, and Tiber rivers. This breathtaking position has led to Montefalco being known as The Balcony-rail of Umbria. Because of its environmental, cultural, and artistic heritage, Montefalco has become part of the club The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy.

It is the land of the famous Sagrantino wine but not only...
The following varieties of wine are produced in Montefalco: Montefalco Bianco, Montefalco Rosso, Montefalco Sagrantino and Montefalco Sagrantino Passito.
History tells that in Montefalco the ancient monks vinified the grapes of their own harvest to create a sweet version of the consecration wine and in the 1960s some producers managed to recover this tradition. Then, in 1979 this product obtained the controlled designation of origin and in 1992 the superior label of controlled and guaranteed designation of origin.
