About Le Thadee
The Le Thadee wine estate was established quite recently (2018) by purchasing some very beautiful vineyards (7 hectares) on the gentle slopes of Montefalco. This is a unique area with a specific terroir located south of Perugia. Production is carried out using the most advanced organic methods and concepts, with an emphasis on local grape varieties and traditions.
