Azienda Agricola Bocale

The Bocale Farm is located in Madonna della Stella, just six kilometers from the center of Montefalco (PG). The historic village, defined as the “Railings of Umbria”, stands on a hill overlooking the Spoleto Valley, about 473 meters high, and offers an enchanting view.
Bocale is the dialect term that indicates the two-liter jar of wine or oil, but, above all, the name with which this Montefalco family has always been identified.
