Located between Perugia and Assisi (or between the chocolates and the patron saint), Terre Margaritelli has over 120 acres under vine; most for classic varieties, and the rest for experimental purposes. That's what winemaker Federico Bibi and his chef wife, Jennifer McIlvaine decided when they took over this circa 1950 property. That, and converting it to certified organic farming.
