Holiday Apartment in Fabbri: Wine and Regional History

One notable address is Tenuta Rocca di Fabbri in Località Fabbri in Montefalco. Rocca di Fabbri Estate has been producing Sagrantino di Montefalco, Rosso di Montefalco and other IGT wines since 1984. The winery was founded in 1984 by Pietro Vitali. Rocca di Fabbri Estate also offers the opportunity to discover the estate’s vineyards. This gives wine production in Fabbri a tangible character and connects it with a longstanding regional tradition.

Castello di Fabbri and Its Fresco Niches

Castello di Fabbri is the focal point among the historic buildings. The square keep has sides measuring 7 meters, is 20 meters high and is completely preserved. It dates from 1395 and is the work of Gregorio da Cerreto. Castello di Fabbri was built in the 14th century and formed part of the Albornozian defense system. Its dimensions, great age and preserved form make the keep a particularly tangible detail of the village’s history.

The cultural diversity also includes two fresco niches. In Piazza del Castello di Fabbri, there is a fresco niche with a large arched opening containing a fresco of the Madonna and Child between two saints. Along the main road through the fortified village, there is a second fresco niche with another, heavily damaged fresco of the Madonna and Child between two saints. Both depictions represent the sacred imagery preserved in Fabbri’s details.

Old Church and Striking Natural Feature

The Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo is no longer a parish church. The former, severely deteriorated parish church is located near Castello di Fabbri and is in very poor structural condition. At the edge of the settlement of Fabbri, an impressive mulberry tree specimen also grows beside a detached house; it is considered one of the largest in Umbria. For your holiday planning, this creates an interesting contrast between medieval defensive architecture, religious imagery, vineyards and a single, extraordinary tree.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Fabbri, you can therefore consider which of these specific highlights should shape your stay: the wines and vineyards of Rocca di Fabbri Estate, the architectural history of the Castello, the frescoes in the fresco niches or the quieter village details around the former church and the large mulberry tree.
