Azienda

The SAIO Farm is located in Umbria, at the feet of the basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. A land full of history and tradition, characterized by strong spirituality related to nature and ascetic meditation. A place still surrounded by an atmosphere suspendend between legend,religion and poetry.
Here the Mencarelli family produces its wines and its extra vergine olive oil.
Let's know more about SAIO from its protagonists...
Wake up in the morning seeing Assisi from the brilliant green of the vineyards is a dream that came true. Thanks to my lifelong experience in viticolture, I became aware of the great potential of these lands and I felt the necessity of producing high quality wines, starting from the origin: the rigorous vine's care.
For our wines and olive oil we chose a very elegant image and an emblematic name. SAIO is the name of the humble and poor typical dress of the Franciscan friars, as humble and poor is the work on the field.
When Alfio proposed me this new adventure, I was quite sceptical, but soon his intuition and enthusiasm persuaded me too. Now I team up with my daughters to exhalt our culinary tradition in original and unexpected way.
The good management of a winery is complex and many-sided. Since the beginning my husband and I have been working together with my father in the commercial direction.
We want it to be precise and prompt, because it assures a perfect service for our clients and a surplus value to our wines.
I organise wine tastings, guided tours and I take care of our exporters. I kindly welcome our clients and I love making themselves at home. Wine culture is multifaceted. From viticolture to oenology, from wine tasting to literature and poetry, every aspect is so interesting!
Thanks to the WorldWideWeb I keep in touch with all our SAIO friends who follow our activities and support us.
