History
Cantina Cardeto was founded at Orvieto on 30 August 1949 as the Cooperativa Vitivinicola per la zona di Orvieto (CO.VI.O), bringing together 150 founding members; it took the name Cardeto in 2005, after the old hemp-carding trade once carried out near the Paglia river.
Today one of Umbria's largest wineries, it works grapes from around eighty members across some five hundred hectares and makes about three million bottles a year, built around Orvieto Classico, and released its first organic wines in 2020.
