THE ESTATES
LE TENUTE
For five generations, we have interpreted the vocation of our lands, transforming their fruits into expressions of excellence: identity-driven Etna DOC, Terre Siciliane IGT, and Lazio IGT wines, Metodo Classico sparkling wines, extra virgin olive oil, and artisanal preserves.
We cultivate our vineyards following the principles of sustainable viticulture, enhancing the identity of three distinct territories: the volcanic area of Tenuta San Michele, the plains of Tenuta Gelso Bianco, and the Lazio hinterland of Tenuta la Francescana.
Today, Murgo is an integrated company that combines agricultural production with the distribution of partner brands of excellence, complementing our vineyard work with authentic hospitality split between panoramic wine tourism on Mount Etna and the urban, cultural soul of Palazzo Scammacca in the heart of Catania.
TENUTA SAN MICHELE
Situated 500 meters above sea level, between Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea, Tenuta San Michele is the heart of Murgo’s activities. A natural amphitheater of about 40 hectares where the passion for wine meets the art of hospitality.
The main excellences of our Estate include:
-
The Historical Vineyards: Local varieties such as Nerello Mascalese and Carricante, with vines ranging from 20 to 60 years of age dedicated to the production of the estate’s wines.
-
The Winery: The place where our selections are born and aged.
-
Hospitality: An agriturismo with a restaurant and swimming pool, designed to offer guests an immersive and relaxing experience among the vineyards.
PALAZZO SCAMMACCA DEL MURGO
In the heart of Catania’s historic center, just a few steps from Piazza Duomo, Palazzo Scammacca embraces 250 years of history.
Once the representative residence of the Murgo family, today it is a cultural and food & wine hub where different souls coexist:
-
The Cortile Murgo Bistrot: A welcoming bistro ideal for guided tastings, lunches, dinners, and exclusive private events.
-
Culture and Entertainment: The Teatro Murgo and the Museum Space on the main floors, brought to life by jazz concerts, live shows, and temporary art exhibitions.
-

Located in the Lazio hinterland, about an hour north of Rome, Tenuta la Francescana spans approximately 20 hectares. Today, the land is entirely covered with rows of vines and represents the heart of the Caffarelli production.
The main features of our Estate include:
-
Nero Buono: The indigenous grape variety of the area that we cultivate in our vineyards and from which, in 2020, we obtained the first vintage of Nero Buono Caffarelli.
-
Century-Old Caves: Hundreds of meters of tunnels dug into the pozzolana earth for the construction of the port of Anzio, which today wind right beneath the vineyards.
-
Olive Trees and Nature: A heritage that enriches and completes the property’s land, characterized by ancient olive trees and centuries-old majestic trees.
