Castello della Sala is located on a tuff promontory on the Umbrian Apennines (534 meters above sea level), not far from the border with Tuscany and about 18 kilometers from the historic town of Orvieto. It is beautiful medieval fortress, surrounded by ancient Etruscan towns in the hills, halfway between river Paglia and the summit of Mount Nibbio.
The estate covers a total area of 500 hectares, including 140 hectares of vineyards, planted at 200–400 meters above sea level, on a clayey soil rich in fossils from the Pliocene period of sedimentary and volcanic origin. Approximately 8 hectares are covered with olive trees for the production, for domestic use, of extra virgin olive oil.
