Rosceto: Wine and History

Rosceto combines winemaking and cultural heritage with a nature theme. Cantina Todini and Cantina Villa Sobrano offer different connections to wine; Castello di Rosceto and the history of the church are the main historical highlights. Leo Wild Park adds a nature-focused perspective to these themes. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, you can choose a travel theme based on these features of the area.

Winemaking with different connections

Cantina Todini is located in Località Rosceto. Its vineyards in the district are predominantly south-facing. The winery focuses on typical grape varieties such as Grechetto and Sangiovese. This describes two different aspects of its connection to wine: the orientation describes the vineyards, while the grape varieties define the cantina’s focus. Cantina Villa Sobrano is located in Rosceto in a 13th-century castle. Its vineyards extend across approximately 13 hectares around the old castle. By comparison, Todini is distinguished by its southern orientation and focus on grape varieties, while Villa Sobrano stands out for its connection to the castle and the approximate area of its vineyards.

The Castello and church history

Castello di Rosceto was built around 1200 and stood on the ancient Roman road delle Sette Valli, which connected Todi with San Gemini. This historical road connection also places the Castello in a broader context between the two towns. The date around 1200 should be understood as approximate. The church in the Castello is now dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. The Parrocchia di Santa Maria in Cielo Assunta can be traced back to 1580 in Rosceto; the Confraternita del Santissimo Sacramento e Santa Barbara existed from 1721 to 1928. These dates represent different aspects of local history: the construction of the Castello, the history of the parish, and the limited period during which the Confraternita existed. The present dedication, the historical parish record, and the Confraternita thus offer different perspectives on Rosceto’s religious history.

Leo Wild Park as a nature theme

Leo Wild Park in Località Rosceto is a nature oasis. Its connection to the wine offerings becomes tangible in Cantina Todini’s tasting packages: park admission may be included as an optional service. Park admission is therefore a possible extra, not a fixed part of every tasting. If this connection is important to your plans, check in advance whether admission is included in the relevant package.
