Authentic Marche Wine Tasting in Tenute Muròla's Historic Winery in Urbisaglia

A truly pleasant, well-organized experience, and much more interesting than a simple tasting.

As soon as I arrived, I was welcomed by a very kind young woman, whose name I unfortunately don't remember, who guided me through the entire tour with attentiveness, helpfulness, and that calm manner that makes you feel immediately at ease, without the 'sommelier lesson with a final exam' effect.

The visit began with the story of the company and the family, then moved on to the cellar: a place where you can really feel the connection between history, territory, agricultural work, and that almost engineering-like precision that is part of the identity of Tenute Muròla. It's not just a beautiful cellar to look at, it's a place with a story behind it.

The tasting included the white Ribona, fresh, fragrant, and very pleasant; then the Camà, a soft, elegant, and easy-to-appreciate Rosso Piceno; and finally the Teodoro, from Montepulciano grapes, more intense, spicy, and structured. I say this more as a curious traveler than a wine expert: they are three different tastes, each with a clear personality, explained in a simple and understandable way.

The platter of local products was also much appreciated: pecorino cheese, salami, ciauscolo, coppa, olives, and gluten-free bread with the estate's EVO oil. Truly high-quality products and, importantly for me, great attention also paid to the dietary needs indicated at the time of booking.

The setting of Tenute Muròla then plays its part: hills, silence, well-kept spaces, and a general feeling of order, beauty, and welcome. You can perceive a sincere care for the guests, not just for the wine.

The final shop was also very interesting, where you can buy the estate's products. I took home Camà, Orbesallia, and the Maretto Ribona Beer: the Camà more elegant and enveloping, the Orbesallia more direct and everyday, while still being a Rosso Piceno, and the beer a truly original curiosity linked to the territory.

In summary: a recommended experience for those who want to discover a piece of the Marche region through a real winery, local products, a beautiful family story, and a very attentive welcome. It's not a cold or contrived visit: it's a small immersion into a territory that here you drink, taste, and listen to.
A truly pleasant experience. As a sole suggestion, it might be interesting to provide a small final gesture for those participating in the tasting, for example a symbolic gift or a slight discount on purchases in the shop. It would be a nice way to conclude the tour and further encourage people to take home a souvenir from the estate.
