A sinuous hill opens to the vineyards that slide from Catello di Ramazzano, at the gates of Perugia, where the Cantine Aliani estate stands. Sifting through the bishop's archive of Perugia, it was discovered that, during the Middle Ages, 38 families were registered in that Castle. And among the very few fortresses that, over the centuries, has undergone the transformation from CASTRUM TO VILLA, enriching itself with architectural elements such as embankments, frescoes, comfort structures and Renaissance gardens. The fireplaces of the kitchens are huge, inside the walls there is an 800sqm courtyard that leads to the small village, where we find the medieval cellars and the oil mill. In the mid-nineteenth century the estate was owned by the Pecci family, the same one to which PAPA LEONE XIII belonged, author of the encyclical "RERUM NOVARUM", to which the IGP LEONE XIII red wine was dedicated.
