The Company

Nestled in the serene hamlet of Palazzone, within the borders of Lazio and Umbria, Podernuovo a Palazzone is more than a winery; it's a testament to the Bulgari family's unwavering commitment to excellence and a deep-rooted love for nature. At the helm is Giovanni Bulgari, the chief executive and the creative force behind this venture, whose passion for environmental sustainability is as integral to the winemaking process as the grapes themselves. The company's primary objective is to achieve a perfect balance and harmony, not only in the wine it produces but also in reducing carbon dioxide emissions during grape processing.

Identity

The essence of Podernuovo's values is encapsulated in its logo, a visual representation of Giovanni Bulgari's preference for a streamlined and no-fuss approach. The winery's architectural design, courtesy of Alvisi&Kirimoto, mirrors this philosophy. Inspired by a photograph of Giovanni's grandmother, who once owned a vineyard near Rome, the logo beautifully intertwines simplicity with poetic content. Soft brush strokes of wine create the rows of the vineyard, paying homage to the company's dedication to the artistry of winemaking.

Territory

Podernuovo's estate is a hidden gem in the historic hamlet of Palazzone, a place with a rich past that was once a crucial post office along the Via Cassia. Today, it stands as a guardian of ancient farming traditions within Tuscany, where the land is cultivated with respect for the environment. The estate is a protected triangle, where the balance between mankind and nature is maintained, and the traditions of the past are honored.
