Cantina Margò

Origins & Philosophy

Cantina Margò is a small artisanal winery in Umbria, Italy, founded by Carlo Tabarrini in 2008. At first, Carlo worked part-time, producing tiny experimental batches from rented or abandoned vineyards. His passion soon grew into a full-time commitment, and today Cantina Margò is recognized for its bold, natural wines that embody Umbrian terroir.

Vineyards & Terroir

• Size: a few hectares, managed directly by Carlo.

• Varieties: Sangiovese, Trebbiano Spoletino, Grechetto, and other local grapes.

• Soils: ancient lakebed origins, rich in marl, limestone, clay, and sand, giving minerality and depth.

• Farming: organic and biodynamic practices, no synthetic chemicals, manual vineyard work, and low yields to focus on fruit quality.

Winemaking Approach

• Fermentation: spontaneous with indigenous yeasts.

• Cellar Practices: no temperature control, no clarification, no stabilization, and no filtration.

• Additives: minimal to no sulfur, depending on the vintage.

• Style: energetic, textured, and mineral-driven wines, strongly tied to site and year, often released as unique, characterful bottlings.
