Plani Arche started with Italo DiFilippo in 1971. It is now run by Italo’s son Roberto and his wife Elena Pompeii. Roberto’s first vintage was in 1980. The winery converted to organic farming in 1994. Cantina Plani Arche is located across the valley from the ancient city of Assisi. It is comprised of 6 hectares of vineyards across 6 parcels, at average elevations of 250 meters, oriented towards the southeast. The predominant soil is calcareous clay. Roberto farms organically and uses horses to plough his fields.
