Sportoletti is a family-owned estate in the hills of Assisi and Spello, run by brothers Ernesto and Remo Sportoletti with the involvement of their three sons and nephew Fabio. The family cultivates vineyards and also produces organic olive oil, although no formal sustainability certifications are listed. Winemaking is led by Ernesto and Remo, with enologist Riccardo Cotarella supporting the estate since 1998. Its identity is rooted in continued family involvement and a long-standing collaboration between the owners and their winemaking consultant.
