Cantina Margo


When Carlo Tabarrini was four, his father and grandfather would bring him into the vineyards (where he was sometimes allowed to drive the tractor). They made wine for family consumption and grew grapes to sell. He always held fond memories of his childhood amongst the vines and so after he finished school he gave up on his life working in a chocolate factory to focus on vineyards. In 2008, he started Cantina Margo, and from 2016 until now it has been his sole focus. He began with 0.5 hectares from abandoned or neglected vineyards in the town of Sant’Enea (Umbria), and has grown to now manage close to 3 hectares. Using natural and biodynamic practices, Carlo began to improve his land, which seemed to have extraordinary potential. His careful work restoring these precious sites has given him the reputation of one of the most dedicated farmers in the inland region of Umbria.
