Raina

Estate story

Raìna is a small, artisanal winery located in Montefalco, Umbria, founded in 2002 by Francesco Mariani, a chef and vine grower, together with his friend and assistant Andrea Mattioli.

The name “Raìna” comes from the nickname of the former owner of the field where the estate’s first Sagrantino vines were planted, preserving a direct connection between the land and its history.

The estate covers approximately 10 hectares of vineyards situated between 220 and 300 meters above sea level. The soils are of medium consistency and rich in texture, and the vineyards benefit from predominantly southeastern exposures.

Red varieties are trained using spurred cordon, while white grapes follow the Guyot system, with a planting density of about 5,700 vines per hectare.

The vineyards are planted with a diverse range of varieties that reflect both local tradition and thoughtful experimentation.

Sagrantino stands at the core of the estate, supported by Sangiovese, Grechetto, Trebbiano Spoletino, Montepulciano, Merlot, and small plantings of Syrah. Each variety is cultivated with the aim of expressing balance, energy, and a strong sense of place.
