In 1999, the Cantarelli family purchased an abandoned smallholding, known then as Podere Caiano,set in the countryside near the ancient hill town of Orvieto. They began the task of renovating the property, including several farmhouses dating back to the late 1800s. It was the start of a project that would see them create not only a winery but also accommodation for guests wanting to experience life at Lapone and they continue to host clients from all over the world. The first of the new vines were planted in 2002 and today 20 hectares of the 35 hectare property are planted as vineyards. After a period of experimentation in vinification, Cantina Lapone was officially founded in 2011and takes its name from the valley where the winery is located. Together, Piero and Ramona have succeeded in reinvigorating a place that was once forgotten and in doing so continue the rich winemaking heritage of the area.

Our conception of wine is intimately linked to the vineyard, only from there can true satisfactions come out, those that remain. The vines of the Orvieto do not have the solar expressiveness of some "easy" grapes and thus also their margins for improvement are not so immediate, for this reason, work in the vineyard relies on continuity rather than miraculous choices. Ours is a real qualitative re-education. The fermentation and the choice to put them on the market after a proper maturation in the cellar - I am never out before late spring - is linked to the complexity of which Orvieto is capable with the passing of the months. It transforms before our eyes, lets go of its youthful ease and takes on a more articulated physiognomy, lets itself be discovered without indulging everything at once, lets itself be remembered with small emotions and without overdoing it.
