Poderi San Lazzaro

High in the hills of Offida in the southern part of coastal Le Marche, Poderi San Lazzaro commands a breathtaking stage: at 290 meters above sea level, the panorama unfolds from the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic Sea, just 15 kilometers distant. This exceptional terroir—where continental and maritime air converge—defines the character of every wine the estate produces.

The story begins with Lorenzo Capriotti, who recognized the extraordinary potential of this hilltop land and planted the first vineyards. In 2003, his son Paolo and Paolo’s wife Elisetta took the helm, modernizing the winery while honoring tradition. In 2012, they built a contemporary cellar with views across the vineyards, replacing a thousand-year-old stone cottage that once held the harvest.

Today, Poderi San Lazzaro farms approximately 18 hectares of organic vineyards—plots aged between 15 and 60 years—flanked by olive groves and woods. We specialize in the wines of Rosso Piceno Superiore, one of Italy’s historic DOCG appellations, crafted from Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes refined by our unique maritime-mountain microclimate. Our portfolio also features distinctive whites: Passerina, Pecorino, and Corolla, along with bold expressions like our Grenache—each a reflection of organic cultivation and unconventional flavor.

Paolo carries on the family’s innate practice of organic and sustainable farming, using methods and techniques that respect the natural rhythms of agriculture.
