Tenuta Lamborghini & Lamborghini Golf Club
After the decision to separate from Automobili Lamborghini and his other companies, Ferruccio began to search for an ideal space, far from the turmoil of the industrial world, to rediscover that bond with the land that had never abandoned him: he bought an estate on Lake Trasimeno (La Fiorita) and moved there in 1968.
He dedicated himself to the estate and transformed it into one of the most modern farms in Europe: he levelled the land, planted some of the best quality vines and built a wine cellar that was absolutely innovative for the time. Initially, Ferruccio moved to La Fiorita to relax and go hunting, but his entrepreneurial acumen continued to be strong: he entered the wine world with his first harvest in 1975, producing the 'Sangue di Miura' wine under the oenological supervision of Giorgio Grai, one of the best winemakers of the time.
Here Ferruccio lived the last years of his life; he died in 1993, surrounded by friends and acquaintances.
Since 2015, the property has been sold to a Milan-based company formed by members of the Tschang family, which is continuing the project of renewal and excellence initiated by Ferruccio Lamborghini. The new vineyards cover a total area of 30 hectares, but the future plans of the current ownership include replanting the entire vineyard area.
The extreme search for quality and the desire to highlight the characteristics of the terroir have allowed the beginning of a dramatic improvement in both vineyard management and winemaking under the supervision of Riccardo Cotarella for over 20 years. The result of these efforts has produced modern wines of the highest level.

He designed a course with white sand bunkers and a variety of trees and shrubs, which appeals to golfers of all abilities. There is also a full-length driving range with covered tees and a floodlit practice area with putting and pitching greens.
