The Ca' Matra Farmhouse, between Umbria and Tuscany

The Ca' Matra Farmhouse is located in the High Tiber Valley (Alta Valle del Tevere, Valtiberina), a panoramic position surrounded by the green Umbrian countryside, and very close to the Tuscan border.

The farmhouse consists of in a main building made of stone, that was constructed around a 12th century observation tower, and a few rural outbuildings (the drying kiln for tobacco, the barn, and the cart track) that were built around the farmyard in the late 19th century.

The main building offers two independent bedrooms (that share the same bathroom) and three spacious, comfortable apartments, each composed of a living room with kitchenette, a bathroom and two bedrooms. The furniture is simple, made up of pieces brought back from the rural tradition.

Holiday Farm and Winery

The Ca' Matra Farm, located in "Alta Valle del Tevere", mainly cultivates cereals and fodder.

The vineyard, the orchard and the vegetable garden are organically cultivated and they constitute the excellence of the agricultural production. Azienda Agrobiologica Ca' Matra has been producing for years IGT Wines only (Typical Geographical Indication).
The autochthonous Umbrian wine varieties are cultivated in the lands where "Plinio il Giovane" had already planted his vineyard in Roman times.
The grapes are harvested by hand and squeezed with a wooden wine press following the peasant tradition.

GRECHETTO CA' MATRA

Vinified in purity from Grechetto grapes, it is delicately fruity, slightly acidulous with a bitter aftertaste.
Excellent aperitif. It goes well with appetizers, legume soups, white meats and fish.
Serve at 12°C.
This wine can give rise to natural deposits as filtration has been deliberately reduced.

ROSSO PLINIUM

The Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are carefully selected before being vinified. Then follows the aging in barriques for 12 months.
Ruby red wine with a dry, robust and harmonious flavor, rightly tannic.
